We're headed for the round-up
Going to the big stampede
Ol' Dick Cosgrove's riding in the lead
Hear the rattlin' chuck wagon
And the snortin' buckin' broncs
Heading for the Calgary stampede

Gather 'round the ol' chuck wagon
Fix you up some grub
Flip those flapja

Caroline
There's a place where the sun doth shine
And the birds keep time with the pines up yonder
That's the home of my Caroline
She's dancing in the sky

Oh how sweet when we meet
On the golden streets of the great wide valley
These old chains around my feet
Th

Prayin' on the north wind
Lead me to my door
Thumbing through my green backs
Swearin' I made more
Some cruel nightly cycle
Leaves me cryin' on a motel floor
I don't cry for you
Anymore

Many a dark hour
I look up to the sky
Many unkind thoughts are laid

I'm lonesome but happy
Rich but I'm broke
And the good Lord knows the reason
I'm just a cowpoke

From Cheyenne to Douglas
The ranges I know
Cause I drift with the wind
No one cares where I go

Well I ain't got a dime
In these ol' wore out jeans
So I'll s

Far across the deep blue water
Lives an old German's daughter
On the banks of the old river Rhine
There I loved her and left her
Now I can't forget her
She was my pretty Fräulein
Fräulein, Fräulein, look up toward the heavens
Each night when them stars start to shine<

Well the raven is a wicked bird
His wings are black as sin
And he floats outside my prison window
Mocking those within
And he sings to me real low
It's hell to where you go
For you did murder Kate McCannon

When I first met Tom McCannon
I was working in the mines

Leave them lights as they are
And keep your clothes on, I've had
More than my fill
Of whiskey and women
And good-hearted villains, but there's a
Wickedness in me still

Keep that gun locked away
Locked away boy
Well you know you're an angry young man
Going in

Sunshine beating on the good times
Moonlight raising from the grave
String band playing worn out honkey-tonks
Pretty young thing going dancing in the rain

High heel lady spitting at the nickajack
Business man with a needle and a spoon
Coyote chewing on a cigarette

Well
Reverend, reverend, please come quick
'Cause I've got something to admit
I met a man out in the sticks
Of Good Ole Miss
He drove a series 10 Cadillac and wore a cigar on his lip

Don't you know the devil wears a suit and tie?
Saw him driving down the 61' in earl

Sweetly takin' his time
Drinkin' on a straight rye
Chasin' it with red wine
Heavy on his troubled mind
Sweetly takin' his time
Tryin' to make it all right
Thinkin' on a woman
Thinkin' on a woman

He's tunin' up the CB
Can anybody hear me?
'Cause I'm headi

It was a cold and cruel evening
Sneaking up on Speedy Creek
Found myself asleep and in the snow
One or two odd reasons
I ain't too proud to repeat
For now we'll say I had no place to go
There was a rustle and a humming
Just hauling down the street
I drew myself up

I met a little girl in Saskatoon
She was beaming, bold and beautiful
And higher than the moon
Before I could profess she left too soon
The words she spoke were enough to make me blue
She said, I know just what you're wishing
Two folks in our condition
We'll never leav
