Black Cowboys Song Lyrics

Black Cowboys by Bruce Springsteen Song Lyrics

Rainey William's playground was the Mott Haven streets
Where he ran past melted candles and flower wreaths
Names and photos of the young black faces
Whose death and blood consecrated these places

Rainey's mother said "Rainey, stay at my side
For you are my blessing, you are my pride
It's your love here that keeps my soul alive
I want you to come home from school and stay inside"

Rainey'd do his work and put his books away
There was a channel that showed a western movie everyday
Lynette brought him home books on the black cowboys of the Oklahoma range
And the Seminole scouts that fought the tribes of the Great Plains

Summer come and the days grew long

My favorite. The best Bruce S. album for me.

Are you kidding?. This is boring hillbilly crap

excellent. not quite on par with ghost of tom joad or nebraska, but excellent all the same

Dark and Boring. I'm a diehard second-generation Bruce fan. I loved The Rising and Magic. But this... No. Bruce has developed a sort of southwestern campfire ballad-type sound more recently, and this is the worst of it. It's a dark, depressing, and even boring album. Like I said before, I love Bruce. But I don't love this at all.

Haunting and Lyrical. Unless you expect the Boss's style to be frozen in time in the late 70's, you will appreciate where the arc of his life and career has taken him with this album. It perfectly reflects (as Springsteen's albums always do) the times in which it was created. He connects with the raw emotions then emerging from the Iraq war and immigration issues, as well as from much more personal matters. You can feel in it the dark clouds that were starting to form on the horizon, as well as hope for the future. None of it is trite or overdone. The lyrics and music are haunting and beautiful. I love this album. It touches me deeply every time I listen to it.
