| Take your coffee bitter
|
| Cook your beef steak rare
|
| Drink your whiskey straight
|
| Draw to all your pairs
|
| Pack the quickest pistol
|
| Break the toughest broncs
|
| Speak your piece with wisdom
|
| Sing a cowboy song
|
| Dance with your spurs on
|
| Twirl the girls around
|
| Tip your hat when that whistle blows
|
| As you win your last go-round
|
| Dance with your spurs on
|
| 'Cause the ride ain’t all that long
|
| May your rowels still be spinnin'
|
| As they lay you in the ground
|
| May your spirit never grumble
|
| Learn from your mistakes
|
| If your life should ever stumble
|
| May your cinch not ever break
|
| Move your cattle easy
|
| Treat your partner square
|
| Rein your pony gentle
|
| Play your hand out fair
|
| Dance with your spurs on
|
| Twirl the girls around
|
| Tip your hat when that whistle blows
|
| As you win your last go-round
|
| Dance with your spurs on
|
| 'Cause the ride ain’t all that long
|
| May your rowels still be spinnin'
|
| As they lay you in the ground
|
| We know you fought some battles
|
| We’re all here gathered around
|
| The truth is on the tombstone
|
| You never let nobody down
|
| Dance with your spurs on
|
| Twirl the girls around
|
| Tip your hat when that whistle blows
|
| As you win your last go-round
|
| Dance with your spurs on
|
| 'Cause the ride ain’t all that long
|
| May your rowels still be spinnin'
|
| As they lay you in the ground |
