> Heaven has a new top hand
> Riding for his Savior's brand
> His cowboy days on Earth were through
> And heaven welcomed a good buckaroo
>
> Family met him to celebrate
> When he came through the pearly gates
> His buckskin stood at a hitching post
> And mounted near by was the Lord of Hosts
>
> He said, Mount up, Son, and follow me
> I have so much for you to see
> When a cowboy's work on earth is over
> He rides with me through fields of clover
>
> The grass is green, the fences tight
> The angels sing in the campfire light
> I built you this ranch for Eternity
> The day you gave your heart to me
>
> Don't mourn or weep for this cowhand
> He's riding and rejoicing in the Promised Land
> He earned his rest from earthly trials
> Now he rides with Jesus across Heaven's miles
