Dead South, The - Broken Cowboy Lyrics

I'm so glad they decided to put this on the album! Just needs a video.

red dead, peaky blinders, hell on wheels, any clint eastwood movie. pick your poison fellers

Love this song. The lyrics are so moving and dark. Is that "taunting tree" one he wants to hang himself from or did his son die on it?

You guys are awesome. Youre like the new Monsters of Folk for me

'Closed captions' needs help!
LOVE these guys!

Now that is real music

Can anyone suggest songs like this with the same mood and rhythm?

Not with the same feeling. Kinda what makes these guys so unique.

"Spaghetti"
Of the same album.

It doesn't have the same chill mood

Love this band. Great music with feeling and emotion. Can't wait to see you in February at Manchester, England. No better way to start the New Year 👍

So good! Thank you for this new album! Will see you in Raleigh soon.

That voice gives me goosebumps fantastic song love you's guys 😎🤟 can't wait till yous come to Scotland 😀🥰🤠🎶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Tabs for this?

music to play Red Dead Redemption to

Amazing audio! Danny's cello is deep and warm, the other instrument mic's are nice and bright. Hats off to OurVinyl. This is my favorite song off Sugar & Joy, and an amazing video. Would love a lossless version!

Tu klątwy sprzedają
szarady schematy maja gotowe.
W każdej szaradzie są aki
aki to składy
ja jestem ofiarą na sadyzm
"To Co Ma, na sadyzm"
Czy Ty Prezydent to rozumiesz: wszystko,co mam na sadyzm
bezkarne wobec mnie okrucieństwo zaksięgowano
policja , pilnuje przestępcy,żeby się nie spocił,jak mnie goni
z "namierzaczem"
"Żeby się tylko nie spocił.."
Są jeszcze zakątwia
to są"pędraki"
dla nich dzieci to robaki
i przeznaczone są jak śmieci
na wysypiska różne
codziennie widzę
małe opętane dzieci
sztywne
sztywne od aki
"te robaki' maja po 4-5 lat
sa małe i kruche
sa najczęściej chude
to aki


pędraki mogą być tez zastąpić paki
bardzo duże paczki- paki
zamiast pędraka mogą dać pakunek
tyle znaczy w tym rytuale małe dziecko
może zastąpić pakunek
ale alejką kroczy dziecko, dziewczynka, mała kruszynka, ładnie ubrana
2 -3 lata
pomóżcie mi płakać nad tym mały pakunek


pomóżcie mi płakać
kruszynka wczoraj szła koło mojego domu
zamiast paki
Piszę to Imieniu Sa Boga I A Boga
Pomóżcie Im płakać
Pomóżcie Im płakać.

I love y'all. Please come to Nashville Tennessee

Just went to their show in Spokane. One of my top 5 shows that I have seen! (And, I have seen MANY concerts; many musicians) <3

Holy hell that was amazing!

You tubes SO MANY COMMERCIALS SUCK!!!!

We like it! These guys are making good music these days.

Who all are going to watch them play live in London?

We had two kids... I gave her a daughter, and she gave me son.

Darkly pleasant

Очень круто!

Great song

The only band making real country music now.

Madrid 21-May 2020 Can´t wait.

Como faço para comprar esse CD Álbum, aqui no Brasil? 😭 (How do I buy this album here in Brazil?)

The dead south currently has 666k subscribers... Wack

Yes, yes, yes--Fabulous
voice, instruments, and words. Love it.

REALLY GOOD BAND...

this is my favorite song from you guys so far. everything is spot on. I'm assuming the tree is only bothering him because he wants to hang himself with it? anyways great job can't stop listening to it. wish you guys would come tour Oregon.

I'm trying to figure that out, too. Does he want to hang himself or did his son get hung from that tree? They need to explain this to us.

@OsakaRose ya just says "my son went down"

Too amazing for any words I can come up with right now.

love the beet to that one

Thank you Dead South you are awesome

Wonderful song!! It's like a poem. Mystic, true. I'm a bit broken cowboy too. Beatiful

Супер...

This is now my favorite song.. Simply Besutiful.

can't wait for them to come back to Texas. Love these guys.

I love how dark and touching this song is. You really feel the power. I've been listening on repeat for like 4 days now and can't get enough. I'm about to cover this myself if I can figure out the banjo!! I love this so much.

I play it on guitar. It's very simple chords.

A to the 4th power. . . s to the second. You guys ROCK!!! . . . pls kpitup!!!!!

believe it or not but my 2-year-old nephew loves them, In Hell I'll Be In Good Company is his favorite along with Gunslinger's Glory which he dances and hums along and Spaghetti ,but when it's time to sleep he asks me for Broken Cowboy and as if by magic he lets himself be carried away in sleep. I hope in May 2019 to bring him to the concert in Milan.

Start 'em young!

It's real quite here, just the way I like it here...

This song is a hundred years old. Older than dirt. Older than this land.

beautifully put

Unreal song! Dare to say it's my favorite from this group. A story inside a song is always a solid move...

Magical!

Put this on repeat..

I absolutely hated the new country genre. I came across The Dead South and fell in love. Are they country or are they blue grass? I don't care. They are The Dead South!

Kathi Berglund .. “Americana”

The genre we all been lookin for

Songs like this are more like Dark Country

Enjoy the fact they piss off the bluegrass, folk, country, blues, etc purists.

gay Fuk turned out straight. God Blesss

I think they are a blend of folk, country, bluegrass, and and blues. Love their melodies (which really are quite intricate), lyrics, and voices.

Love it, guys! Keep popping them out like that- Gold🌟🌟

I can't stop listening to the Dead South. Loving everything they do.

I think you need a video for this wonderful song !!!

Can not wait to see you guys in San Diego! This albums been incredible and I gotta say this is my favorite on the album. You guys are some serious story tellers.

I just bought my tickets for the SD show, too. No way in hell I was going to use this one!

maybe the best from new songs

Glorious tune, Guys. Damn!

thumps up!

7 people must listen to Mumble Rap. How could you not like this song? Love the entire album guys. Keep up the great work. We love y'all.

Fuckin GOLD. Keep making music.

Could not agree more; I've just to wait a few months and then I'm going to see them live, here in the Netherlands 👌🏻❤😀

HOOOLY FUCK, I'M LISTENING FOR THE FIRST TIME AND AROUND 1 MINUTE IN THE SONG KICKED IN LIKE A BULLET TROUGH THE HEAD

Love this!

Great song!

Wayfaring stranger but great song...

Even if it takes inspiration from Wayfaring Stranger can you say a thing about it? Both songs are incredible.

The best I've heard in a long time keep up the good work

The best moment is: "...Anywhere the wind will blow

But I, I am a broken cowboy..."

I like
I gave her a daughter
She gave me a son

@ms hilton23 I like the emotion in his voice when he sing that part :) like he's truly broken

“A Father’s Worst Dream....” Ooo.

@Custis Long oo yes, that part too

Phenomenal

I can't wait for you guys to hit the UK in 2020. 🔥

i will get to see them in san francisco on dec 1st..... and there is much rejoicing. wish i had the extra $170 for my son and i to get the vip package.... life is good and rent is high in the city that refuses to take a nap. have a large time at the england/wales/scotland/n ireland show.....

@pelotasdad I'm going to that one too!

White Pine beans of low thermal mass. i will be the short white guy with long hair with a beautiful young mannish-boy 15 year old son and big smiles.... another fine product of canada graces the shores of america.... we are the lucky ones. say hi if you see us!

Such a masterpiece.. and finally the whole album out !!! Happily gave my money and received something very good :)))

I Definately love their darker songs!

I really have found myself gravitating towards them for sure

thumbs up

Aren't they all dark?

Lyrics:


It's been a long dark dirty road
And pocket full of gold
And I've been out here now
All on my own
Well it's real quiet here
Just the way I like it here
There's no one to bother me
Except

In 1955
Born into Wadena's pride
I laid my head on that
Milligan creek bed
When I was a young man
I helped build this land oh I
Put down these rails as a
CPR man

Thought I'd live forever
With my heart in my pocket
Oh my gun by my side
And my feelings in a locket

Well, that was a cold year
In 77
But I married my wife
We had 2 kids
I gave her a daughter
She gave me a son
And we rode those damn horses
Until we had none

Fists still like flyin'
Doing things for dyin'
Oh I should have put
That old gun away

But I, I am a broken cowboy
And I don't feel right no more
Cause I am a broken cowboy

Livin' life in the fast lane
Racing cars and robbing trains
I thought I had it all
Then one day I got the call
A father's worst dream
My son went down and I

The colors deceive me
As I see grey
Oh you're cutting me down with those
Cold words you're saying
Then you called me brother
But this can't be so
'Cause you slander my name
Anywhere the wind will blow

But I, I am a broken cowboy
And I don't feel right no more
Cause I am a broken cowboy
Yes I am a broken cowboy

It's been a long dark dirty road
And a pocket full of gold
And I've been out here now
All on my own
Well it's real quiet here
Just the way I like it here
There's no one to bother me
Except that old taunting tree

I think this is the first time I've seen 100% correct lyrics in the comment section. I applaud you!

Dshadow 715 thanks man. It wasn’t by ear or anything just copied from a website. Figured everyone could enjoy reading along like I do

Thank you so much for posting all the lyrics to these songs. I really appreciate it! I love singing along and learning the pacing of the melodies.

Oh, I love this one :) Very strong album anyway

This is already an absolute classic!! Oh my God

oh hell yea !!!!!!!!

This song and Gunslinger's Glory go together well

Maybe the broken cowboy's son is the titular gunslinger.

Amazing been waiting for the new album and it is well worth the wait

keep up the great work your music is what the country genre has been needing for 20 years !!!

John Marston .. Right, but Nashville calls the shots, and they don’t get it. “Americana” (this music) is where it’s at now.
