Beans of the Old West

[Verse] Out on the prairie where the cattle roam free, Cowboys gather 'round, swapping tales and drinking tea. But it's not the whiskey that puts hair on their chest, It's the beans from the old west, that make cowboys the best. [Verse 2] Iron cast pots hang above the open flame, With each cowboy aiming for a culinary claim. From Pinto to Navy, each bean tells a tale, When the night sky is clear and the full moon is pale. [Chorus] Oh, beans of the old west, you're a cowboy's delight, A flavor so deep, keeping spirits so light. But when that south wind blows, and the campfire's aglow, The beans of the old west set the evening just right. [Verse 3] Now old Jim would sing of his days on the trail, While the scent of the beans rode a powerful gale. They say it's the beans that gave life to his song, In the heart of the west, where the nights are so long. [Verse 4] Around the fire, tales of love and of loss, With a pot of baked beans, not a dish too posh. From the riversides to the high desert dunes, Beans were the backbone of all those cowboy tunes. [Chorus] Oh, beans of the old west, you're a cowboy's delight, A flavor so deep, keeping spirits so light. But when that south wind blows, and the campfire's aglow, The beans of the old west set the evening just right.
