Pumpkin Cowboy

Pumpkin Cowboy

He's a cowboy and a pumpkin

And he loves his cattle so

But there's no way he gets lumped in

With most cowboys you know

He's no outlaw, and he won't quick draw

For he despises violence

Take a fireside moon over your saloon

As he much prefers the silence

Pumpkin Cowboy

Pumpkin Cowboy

Well it ain't no bluff that life is tough

For a gourd out on the range

But for all the woes in the life he chose

He's never seemed to change

With a smile wide and a kerchief tied

Around his neck slash waist

And he's never riled when a cow runs wild

As he'll lasso them post haste

But one day when Pumpkin Cowboy was

Out tending to his steer

A frightened child came from town

With a message soft but clear

The townsfolk said that he'd end up dead

If he didn't heed their warning

For they heard that the Cowboy Cat

Would be there the next morning

Pumpkin Cowboy

Pumpkin Cowboy

It was well-known through the prairie

Cowboy Cat had ruined lives

And they said he was a devilish man

Who liked to play with knives

He'd steal your purse, and do much worse

If a hairball made him grouchy

If you summed up some the deeds he's done

With one word, it'd be ouchie

Ouchie! Ouchie!

Though he had heard tales while on the trails

Of the feline fiend reviled

Pumpkin Cowboy couldn't leave

For his cow was now with child

If they ran away, she'd have to stay

And she might not survive

So he waited by her side all night

For the scoundrel to arrive

Our hero hadn't realized

That he'd begun to doze

And his mind was awfully groggy

When he finally arose

He touched the ground and sadly found

The thing that he had feared

While he slept under the moonless night

His cow had disappeared

But a moo came from the nearby field

And the cry was harsh and chill

Cat Cowboy held our hero's cow

And he looked like he could kill

Pumpkin Cowboy spoke in hurried yells

As he pleaded with the Cat

He'd give him all his ranch and land

He'd let him take his hat

But the rascal took no compromise

No hat, nor ranch, nor plain

He said the thing he wanted most

Was just to inflict pain

And as Pumpkin Cowboy heard this

He ran at such a clip

That Cowboy Cat got startled

And the knife began to slip

And they crashed into each other

Cat and Pumpkin, Flesh and Blade

And the knife fell to the arid ground

And the scoundrel stood, then swayed

Cat Cowboy crumpled to the dirt

And Pumpkin kneeled beside

And cow stood vigil next to him

As Pumpkin Cowboy cried

He tipped his hat at Cowboy Cat

And stood without a sound

And when townfolk came to cheer his name

Our hero wasn't found

Some say he started wandering

For greener fields to roam

But he didn't bring his cattle

And his horse stayed there at home

The very next morn, the calf was born

The town's own pride and joy

And the folks will regale you with a Gourd-geous Tale

The tale of a Pumpkin Cowboy

Pumpkin Cowboy

Pumpkin Cowboy!
