Cowboys' Farewell

   My soul says yes, yes, yes

          This is God’s will and I am blessed

          If not for my heavenly father up above

          If not for my husband,

          My friend, my soul mate and my devoted love

          I would not be the strong black woman that I’ve become

          We ran a powerful race and the race was won.

          Cowboy, you had a unique way of calling my name

          The sound of your sweet voice, I shall never forget

          “Pudding I need you”, is what you would say

          When your needs weren’t being met

          “Laura Virginia”, you’d call to me,  

           And you would gently kiss my neck.

          You taught me how to fight

          When you knew how much I wanted to win

          You wouldn’t let me quit, and my heart went out to you then

          “Honey”, you would say “you’re a fighter not a quitter”

          You were always true to me, you never tried to pretend

          Our marriage was blessed from heaven above

          Our experience was a spiritual love.

          You said to, “Plan our work and work our plan”,

          That’s when I knew you were an awesome man

          You never failed me, you always came through

          And then you asked me

          This one thing to do

          I will do for you

          I will do for you, Cowboy

          I will do for you

          “I Won’t Complain”
