When the wind whistles high in the lonesome pine
And the sun is setting red and low
Way up on the ridge rides a lone cowhand
Been a-ridin' since a long time ago
For he threw his loop at a mountain cat when he thought it was stalking the herd
They both headed out for the high ground
There's never been another word
Well the soul of Satan was in that cat, just a spittin' ball of fire
That cowboy was tough as a Brahman bull, he'd figure it earned his hire
He's been riding that mountaintop through the sun, rain and hail
When they tried to track him they had no luck, they never found his trail
When the wind whistles high in the lonesome pine
And the sun is setting red and low
Way up on the ridge rides a lone cowhand
Been a-ridin' since a long time ago
(Ooh)
Now that cowboy, he sure was no saint because
He knew the worst of old Satan's ways
There'd never be a roundup in the sky at the end of his earthbound days
Sure his loop was tied to the devil's hide, but his chances were getting mighty slim
'Cause the one thing that cowpoke did not know, was the devil cat was sent to get him
When the wind whistles high in the lonesome pine
And the sun is setting red and low
Way up on the ridge rides a lone cowhand
Been a-ridin' since a long time ago
(Ooh)
And now when the shadows begin to fall
On the ridge, you'll see them roar by
And strainin' that rope from the saddle horn, is a cat with bloodshot eyes
But unless that cat gives up the ghost, forever that cowboy will ride
And only when Gabriel blows his horn, will that devil cat be dogged and tied
When the wind whistles high in the lonesome pine
And the sun is setting red and low
Way up on the ridge rides a lone cowhand
Been a-ridin' since a long time ago
Been a-ridin' since a long time ago (ooh)
