Cowboy if you'll marry me
I'll be your darling Jenny

When I can drink from twen'y

Cowboy, cowboy name the day
July 'd be nice I reckon
I’ll gladly meet you at the church
July the 32nd

You sleep all day and spoon all night
And eat your favorite chow
Then why should I get married mam
That's what I'm doing now

Chorus
