He was a singin' cowboy Of the silver screen My mama got his autograph In 1963 She was young And she was starstruck They had a one night stand. But he died right after fan fair On a train to Birmingham. She took me out to see him At a drive in picture show I sat there eatin' milk duds Watchin' Land of the Navajo She smiled when he caught the bad guy, And rode off with the girl I wanted to be just like him, The greatest cowboy in the world [Chorus] She kept that autographed picture on top of the TV. And I remember the neighbors sayin' How much he looked like me. When I was old enough She told me who my daddy was. She said I was Buck Skin Jones' illegitimate son. They called in all the family the day my mama died. And everybody wondered why I barely cried. I knew she was up in heaven, And that's a pretty good place to be. She's finally with the man she loves, And that's alright with me. [Chorus] She kept that autographed picture on top of the TV. And I remember the neighbors sayin' How much he looked like me. When I was old enough She told me who my daddy was. She said I was Buck Skin Jones' illegitimate son. I'm proud to be Buck Jones' illegitimate son. |
