  • Lyrics – Sidekicks and Sagebrush
    Sidekicks & Sagebrush Lyrics – Sidekicks and Sagebrush Front Row Cowboy (Eric Bogle/ Larrikin Music) On Saturday mornings I'd ride to the movies, Booted and spurred on my horse made of tin; Tie-up my cayuse outside on the footpath, Lay down my sixpence and mosey on in. I'd sit in the front row with the other young cowpokes, Waitin' for Roy to appear on the screen, The King of the Cowboys and his golden horse Trigger, To carry me off into my favorite dream. Chorus: Yodel-O, Roy Rogers, Oh you were my hero, A man made of steel on a stallion of gold; Together we rode through the days of my childhood; Memories like heroes, they never grow old. Together we rode over mountains and valleys Camped out at night 'neath the wide prairie sky, We'd sing cowboy songs as we sat by the campfire, While out in the darkness a wild coyote cried. Yippee-ti-yi-yo baked beans and coffee, Tall tales and true as we sat by the fire. Then up in the morning and away we'd go riding, Two saddle-pals, two heroes for hire. Chorus: And now I'm a man, and I've hung up my six-gun, No more do I ride on a horse made of tin. Now I ride subways, and freeways and railways, Instead of a six-gun I now wield a pen. But part of my heart will always be ridin' Along the bright canyons and the wild forest ways, Along with Roy Rogers my faithful companion, Into the sunset of my childhood days.
