Lyrics

on a back road south from Abilene
as the moon shone high
I saw her then I watched the ghost cowgirl cry

woo la lou la dee lay dee
I watched the ghost cowgirl cry

I stood there still afraid to move
there by the canyon weeping on the wind
woo la lou la dee lay dee
I watched the ghost cowgirl cry

she cries on full moon nights till just before dawn
she cried for the love of her love who passed on
a gambling man who gambled with his life
his cheating at a card game made a widow of his wife

woo la lou la dee lay dee
I watched the ghost cowgirl cry

she came to me
such sadness in her eyes
floating across the air
crying on the wind

she cries trapped in time recalling her last words spoken
she cries cos she made a promise that won't be broken
she told him she'd wait up until he returned that night
but after cheating at a card game he was killed in a gunfight

woo la lou la dee lay dee
I watched the ghost cowgirl cry
woo la lou la dee lay dee
I watched the ghost cowgirl cry
