E Through the progress of our country our A occupation's E gone
So we put our ideas into words, our B7 words into a E song
And somewhere 'tween the wire and the A coming of the E train
We let it slip away and B7 wonder who's to E blame
A Bid them all a E dieu, you can't B7 turn the world a E bout
The cowboy left the country, the B7 campfire has gone E out
When I think of those good old days, my eyes with tears do fill
I think of the tin can by the fire, the cayote on the hill
And I think of ridin' night guard when the stars are shining bright
But now instead the wire fence, it guards the herd tonight
You'll miss him on the round-up, it's gone, his merry shout
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out
I'll tell you, boys, in them days old-timers cut a show
Never had much money, not a sorrow did we know
But oh how things have changed now, we're poorly clothed and fed
Our wagons are all broken, our ponies most all dead
Bid 'em all adieu, we can hear the angels shout
"Oh, here they come to Heaven, the campfire has gone out"
Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out
