His mother was a snake    His father was a scarecrow    Born in the desert with his hat on his head    Never missed a shot    Sharp as a Pharaoh    Tequilla in the sunrise    The desert was his bed    Now he could dance the barn dance    Like nobody before him    But no woman would take him    Cos his eyes were rather strange    In them you could see the emptiness of the desert    Yellow like a scarecrow    Black like a snake       He was a voodoo cowboy    And he had never found a girl to call his own    On and on and on    That lonely cowboy    But a cowboy's never really    Cowboy's never really alone    Really alone      He had a horse    Whose name was Plenty    And they saw things no man or beast should ever seen    Out in the redness    Out in the empty    Where ghosts and spirits walk around like you and me       He met a girl    Called Annabelle    And she was just the prettiest thing he'd ever seen    Under a lake at the edge of the world    He met a girl    Walking through the edges of his dreams       Because you see   He was a voodoo cowboy    And he was following a psychedelic stream    on and on and on    That lonely cowboy    But a cowboy's never really    Cowboy's never really deceived   Really deceived       So they rode down    Under the water    And the sunset made a fire above his head    In search of warmth in search of love    In search of heaven above    But all he felt was cold    And all he touched was wet    But he could see her down a little bit deeper    And all he wanted was to hold her to his chest    So he reached out and she reached out    And he touched her    And she drew him in    And kissed him as he breathed his final breath       Because you see   He was a voodoo cowboy    And he had finally found a girl to call his own    on and on and on    Lucky lucky cowboy    Because cowboy's almost always    Cowboy's almost always die alone   Die alone   They die alone   They die alone
