Intro: Guitars and whiskey in a honky tonk somewhere Cowboy angel said here's one about a girl with flowers in her hair Wild flowers, asked the Knoxville boy, no the cowboy replied A wild rose like those that grows along the road, a slow burnin' suicide Don't you cry for the cowboy angel, it's too late anyhow He's too far gone, still ridin' on your tears can't help him now Don't waste your love sweet Magdelene, it'll only slow him down Don't you cry for the cowboy angel ridin' out to that sweet town From Babylon to Joshua Tree, you could taste it in the air That grevious wine of sympathy and a cross no man could bear Are you goin', asked the Knoxville boy, hell yeah the cowboy replied Then he blew his mind like a dandelion and rode off in the night Don't you cry for the cowboy angel, it's too late anyhow He's too far gone, still ridin' on your tears can't help him now Don't waste your love sweet Magdelene, it'll only slow him down Don't you cry for the cowboy angel ridin' out to that sweet town Don't you cry for the cowboy angel ridin' out to that sweet town
