Lyrics
SONGS THAT NO LONGER REMAIN
Words and Music
by Clive Kennedy
Verse.
IN THE DAYS BEFORE COWBOYS WERE HEROES
AND HOME SWEET HOME WAS THE RANGE
THEY WOULD SIT ALL DAY LONG IN THE SADDLE
AND SING SONGS ABOUT LIFE ON THE TRAIL
Chor.
YODEL-AY-EE YODEL-AY-EE
YIPPEE-AY-OH
THEY WOULD SING OF THE WAY-EE
THEY LIVED LONG AGO
OF THE TRAILS THEY TRAVELED
THEIR LOVES THEIR DESIRES
THEY'D SING TO THE CATTLE
AND ROUND THE CAMP FIRES
SONGS OF THE PRAIRIE
SONGS OF THE PLAIN
SONGS THAT NO LONGER REMAIN
Solo ( as last 3 lines of Chor.)
Br.
AND THE WORDS HAVE LONG TURNED
TO DUST IN THE WIND
WASHED AWAY BY THE RAIN
AND NO ONE STILL KNOWS
HOW THAT MELODY GOES
OR WHAT WAS THAT OLE' COWBOY'S NAME...
Chor.
YODEL-AY-EE YODEL-AY-EE
YIPPEE-AY-OH
THEY WOULD SING OF THE WAY-EE
THEY LIVED LONG AGO
OF THE TRAILS THEY TRAVELED
THEIR LOVES, THEIR DESIRES
THEY'D SING TO THE CATTLE
AND ROUND THE CAMP FIRES
SONGS OF THE PRAIRIE
SONGS OF THE PLAIN
SONGS THAT NO LONGER REMAIN
