COWGIRL AND THE DANDY, THE
(Bobby Goldsboro)


Dolly Parton - 1977
Brenda Lee - 1979





In the airport lounge he sat with his cane and derby hat
The grandest man that I had ever seen
Outside the heavy rains had grounded all the planes
So I asked him if he'd like some company

In my rhinestone studded suit and my cowgirl high heel boots
I guess I was a sight for him to see
But he said, "Pull up a chair", as I fumbled with my hair
A more unlikely pair you'll never see

I was Mogan David wine, he was Chablis 59
But there we sat, the cowgirl and the dandy
He was ski resorts in Aspen and summers in Paree
I was Country Music, Nashville, Tennessee

The cowgirl and the dandy, as different as could be
But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee

Then somewhere in between his Harvey's Bristol Cream
And the beers that I kept sipping at the table
We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather
Now there's a little bit of class in this old cowgirl
And there's a little bit of country in the dandy

The cowgirl and the dandy, as different as could be
But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee

I was Mogan David wine, he was Chablis 59
But there we sat, the cowgirl and the dandy
He was ski resorts in Aspen and summers in Paree
I was Country Music, Nashville, Tennessee
He was ski resorts in Aspen and summers in Paree
I was Country Music, Nashville, Tennessee
