This fun 2-part song is sung from the cowboy's perspective, so your kids get to be the cowboy in the song. This old cowboy's lament is about seeing his lifestyle of living a simple life on the range slipping away. He doesn't care much for fame, wealth, or possessions, and certainly is not happy about such modernizations as fences and railroads. The musical arrangement includes such cliché western instrumentation as harmonica, dobro, banjo, and guitar.
Part 2 is optional, and rehearsal tracks for it are included in the kit. (from Music K-8, Vol. 28, No. 5)
