I just realized that he was the one I saw with Elton John and Kiki Dee in 1976 wearing a black leotard and giant banana boots. After only seeing him once I was able to sing along with this all these years later!
Now, this is funny, right? Billy just makes me laugh no matter what he does. Love him, love him, love him. He cheers me up in the middle of my messy depressing life. God bless you, Billy.
This song was my introduction to Billy Connolly. I was a kid at the time. I walk into my mates flat and his mother was playing this on the record player. I didn't know who it was but I loved the lyrics.
It was Billy Connolly at MSG. He was on Elton's US tour that year - he and Elton were good pals. He wrote it and it was on his 1976 album - Atlantic Bridge. I still have my vinyl copy.
I'm a half-stoned cowboy, Who fell off on his ass in the middle of the rodeo, Just a half-stoned cowboy, Buying beer and whiskey for people I don't even know, And I wonder where my money goes. I was having a drink alone, When someone called me to the phone, He was making a joke about trouble that was coming my way, It was my wife saying what's your game, You know you ought to be a bloody ashamed the way you carry on, You got a load of children starving, And a jungle that once was a garden, And you're off like a shot every night as far as I can see. Like a half-stoned cowboy, Who fell off on his ass in the middle of the rodeo, Just a half-stoned cowboy, Buying beer and whiskey for people you don't even know, Then you wonder where your money goes. She says I think I'm gona go insane, The kitchens got a blocked up drain, The baby's got a stomach pain and won't stop his crying, But I know what I'm gona do,
I'm listening dec 2024 x
