Say, Rodney What do you say we mosey on down to... Cuba? Havana, Cuba December 7, 1953 On the steps of the Hotel El Cinendo In downtown Havana We find our very sad and lonely tin horn player Maxalito Chapultapec Rabinowitz and Ray Okay, Max! Well we call this song the Cowboy Song But Ive never been on the range Shucks, Im just an immigrant from Germany But I dont think Id feel at all strange Saddle up near an old cactus tree Id think about you under a starry, starry night And dream I was in your arms back home Id wake up with the sun shining oh so bright And after coffee, Id continue to roam And you know, roaming is what this song is all about Cause thats how I lost my gal It was in the Club Lito In the lobby of the Hotel El Cinendo in downtown Havana And maybe I just wasnt paying enough attention to what she had to say Or buying her enough drinks But before I knew it, she was out on the dance floor with another fellow They danced right out that door, and I never saw her again So I want all you cowboys to put your arms around your honey And hold her tight And never, ever, ever let her go Cause once you loosen that grip You may wind up like I did Stuck out here with this little melody on an accordian
