[Verse] Daisy Mae, I hate to call you, but I’ve got bad news to say, One of my cows broke loose at sunset, and it’s headed far away. I promised you a dance tonight beneath that harvest moon, But duty calls out on the range, and I’ve got to leave too soon. [Chorus] Oh, Daisy Mae, I made a vow, I’d never let you down, But cattle don’t keep schedules, love, they run wild out of town. I’ll saddle up and chase it fast, through fields of windswept hay, But know my heart ain’t strayed at all—it’s still with you, Daisy Mae. [Verse 2] I saw its tracks by the old creek bed, heading toward the pine, It’s a long and lonely chase ahead, but that cow is worth my time. I’d give the world to see your face, and keep my arms around, But for now, I’ll chase that stubborn steer across this rancher’s ground. [Chorus] Oh, Daisy Mae, I made a vow, I’d never let you down, But cattle don’t keep schedules, love, they run wild out of town. I’ll saddle up and chase it fast, through fields of windswept hay, But know my heart ain’t strayed at all—it’s still with you, Daisy Mae. [Bridge] The stars are out, the night is cold, but your warmth is in my soul, Each hoofprint leads me farther, yet your touch makes me whole. I’ll bring that cow back safe and sound before the rooster wakes, Then ride to you in the morning light, for love’s sweet, promised stake. [Chorus] Oh, Daisy Mae, I made a vow, I’d never let you down, But cattle don’t keep schedules, love, they run wild out of town. I’ll saddle up and chase it fast, through fields of windswept hay, But know my heart ain’t strayed at all—it’s still with you, Daisy Mae.
