Performance: Livealbum "Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90" Key: F β™« Intro: G β™« Chorus: G C Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys D Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks G Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such C Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys D They'll never stay home and they're always alone G Even with someone they love
β™« Verse 1: G Cowboys ain't easy to love C And they're harder to hold D They'd rather give you a song G Than diamonds or gold G Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levis C And each night begins a new day D If you don't understand him and he don't die young G He'll probably just ride away β™« Chorus: G C Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys D Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks G Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such C Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys D They'll never stay home and they're always alone G Even with someone they love β™« Verse 2: A Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms D And clear mountain mornings E7 Little warm puppies and children A And girls of the night A Them that don't know him A Won't like him and them that do D Sometimes won't know how to take him E7 He ain't wrong, he's just different E7 But his pride won't let him A Do things to make you think he's right Out-β™« Chorus: A D Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys E7 Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks A Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such D Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys E 'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone A Even with someone they love E 'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone A Even with someone they love
