Harris, Emmylou - Even Cowgirls Get The Blues Lyrics






She's a rounder I can tell you that
She can sing 'em all night, too
She'll raise hell about the slep she lost
But even cowgirls get the blues

Especially cowgirls, they're the gypsy kind
And need their laid on 'em loose
She's lived to see the world turned upside down
Hitchin' rides out of the blues

But even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been

Lonely nights are out there on the road
Motel ceiling stares you down
There must be safer ways to pay your dues
But even cowgirls get the blues

Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been

Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like the restless wind
The only way she's ever been

  14. M.... ....

    One of the all time best song lyrics "'bound to don't know what to do, sometimes"

  15. W.... W....

    Interesting.  I've never heard the first few words to this song.  On my copy of the Blue Kentucky Girl CD, the first few seconds of this song are cut off.  I guess the record company has fixed that by now.  I want a free replacement!

    W.... W....

    That is interesting.

    W.... W....

    If the record company did fix it, then your copy could be worth a lot of money (depending on the condition). I hope you still have it and didn't play it to pieces.

    W.... W....

    @Carole Costa Unfortunately, my copy is only a CD. But my father has the vinyl version. I'll have to check it out.

  16. c.... ....

    This is the first ELH album I ever purchased, back about 1981 or 82, and have loved her since. Beautiful singer and person.

  17. r.... ....

    Blue Kentucky Girl is an album by country music artist Emmylou Harris, released in 1979. The album features delving more traditional country than the country-rock sound of Harris' previous releases. Songs include work by Willie Nelson and Gram Parsons. Rodney Crowell's "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" featured harmonies by Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt, and came out of the women's ill-fated 1978 recording sessions, where they first attempted to record a "trio" album (nearly a full decade before they actually succeeded in doing so).

    r.... ....

    Thanks for the info. I had the album back in 79 and always loved this song. Now that I read what you said, I certainly hear Linda and Dolly on background vocals.

  18. C.... T....

    My favorite singer.

  19. J.... h....

    Another standard-and she has so MANY of them!! Thank you for this!!! :D

    J.... h....

    You are very welcome
