Where Angels Tipped their Wings (Song)

The Sunset paints the mountains
Where the Longhorn cattle roam
Remember all the cowboys
From here to San Antone

And the boys like Tom McGuiness
Two daughters and a wife
He was four and twenty
When the cattle took his life

Chorus
And the Sunset paints the mountains
Hear those lonesome cowboys sing
When the Chisum trail crossed over
The Angels tipped their wings

And the boys like Tom McGuiness
Where the longhorn cattle roam
They’ll not see their loved ones
When the trail is heading home

Chorus
And the Sunset paints the mountains
Hear those lonesome cowboys sing
When the Chisum trail crossed over
The Angels tipped their wings

And the boys like Tom McGuiness
When they hear the master call
They’ll not see their loved ones
When the works all done this fall

Chorus
And the sunset paints the mountains
Hear those lonesome cowboys sing
The shadows hide the memories
Where the Angels Tipped their wings
