Jessie went away last summer a couple of months ago

after all our time together it was hard to see her go

She called me right up when she arrived asked me one more time to come

living on a L.A. freeway ain't my kind of having fun

I think I'd rather be a cowboy I think I'd rather ride the range

Than to lay me down in love and lady's chains.

When we were just beginning it was such an easy way

layin' back up in the mountains singin' songs for sunny days

But she got tired of pickin' daisies and cooking my meals for me

she can live the life she wants to, yes, and it's all right with me

I'd rather laugh with the rain and the sunshine

and lay down my sundown in some starry field

Oh, but I miss her in the mornin' when I awake alone

and the absence of her laughter is a cold and empty sound

But her memory always makes me smile and I want you to know

I love her, yes, I love her just enough to let her go
