When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs For Wings - Tim Blake Nelson & Willie Watson - Piano Cover

Personally, I loved The Ballad of Buster Scuggs. The new Coen-brother-movie has great storytelling combined with a bunch of great songs. This one was even nominated for an Oscar. So, I hope you'll enjoy my piano cover of "When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs For Wings" by Tim Blake Nelson and Willie Watson. If so, please like and subscribe. :)

Singin’ and slingin’ til the faster gun came along. This song is the perfect send off for the San Saba songbird.

Let me tell you, buddy
There's a faster gun
Coming over yonder
When tomorrow comes
Let me tell you, buddy
And it won't be long
'Til you find yourself singing
Your last cowboy song
Yippee-ki-iy-ay
When the round-up ends
Yippee-ki-iy-ay
And the campfire dims
Yippee-ki-iy-ay
He shouts and he sings
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings
When they wrap my body
In the thin linen sheet
And they take my six irons
Pull the boots from my feet
Unsaddle my pony
She'll be itching to roam
I'll be halfway to heaven
Under horsepower of my own
Yippee-ki-iy-ay
When the round-up ends
Yippee-ki-iy-ay
And the campfire dims
Yippee-ki-iy-ay
He shouts and he sings
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings
Yippee-ki-iy-ay
I'm glory-bound
No more jingle jangle
I lay my guns down
Yippee-ki-iy-ay
He shouts and he sings
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings

Hey! Can I upload this to Smule with crediting you and your Youtube Channel? It's the biggest Karaoke App and your instrumental would be the very first for that song :)
