Lengthy duo guitar intro.
"Long Time Gone":
My family raised me tenderly,
Was their only son.
My mind was set to wanderin',
When I was, oh, so young.
You know I left my home the first time,
I was but twelve and one.
I'm just a long time comin',
Be a long time gone.
Just a long time comin', ma,
I'll be a long time gone.
And on the western side of Texas,
All'long the Texas plains.
My mind was set to wanderin',
Though I was a-young of age.
((My foreman said, "Go home boy.))
((You go back to where you belong."))
((I'm just a long time comin',))
((I'll be a long time gone.))
((I'm just a long time comin',)) ma,
((I'll be a long time gone.))
((And you can have your beauty,))
((Skin-deep only lies.))
((A-you can have your money,)) (Lord)
(Oh, right before your eyes.))
((Just give to me my gravestone,))
((Clearly marked upon:))
(("He was a long time comin',))
((He'll be a long time gone."))
(Just)/Was ((a long time)) (comin')
/long time, long time, gone.
(I'll be a long time gone.)
((Well I'm a long time comin')) (God,)
((I'll be a long time gone.))
Instrumental break featuring piano.
"When I Was a Cowboy":
And when I was a cowboy,
Out on the western plains,
((A-when I was a cowboy,))
((Out on the western plains,))
((You know I made me a half-a-million dollars,))
((Pullin' on the bridle reins{1}.))
((Comm-a-ky-ky-yiky, comm-a-ky-ky-comm-a,))
((Comm-a-ky-ky-yiky-yiky-yay.))
((Comm-a-ky-yi-comm-a, comm-a-ky-ky-yiky,))
((Comm-a-ky-ky-yiky-yiky-yay.))
