Gideon Tanner |
| I’ve been riding all night just to get here |
| Don’t you be throwing us out so soon |
| Across the whole damn South with cotton-mouth |
| Now we got some drinking to do |
| We’ve been stuck on the range for 45 days |
| And that’s a long long time |
| We ain’t leaving this place 'til there’s a smile on our face |
| And the whole room is a friend of mine |
| So won’t you line 'em all up and slide 'em all down |
| And let’s hear the jukebox roll |
| We’ve been living on bacon and beans |
| Playing the jacks and the queens |
| But we still got some money to blow |
| And the times ain’t wild enough |
| We dig our spurs in the make them jump |
| We’re riding shotgun with the devil |
| We’re the buckaroos |
| My name is Gideon Tanner |
| I’ve been a man of good manners |
| I won’t dance 'til the ladies ask me |
| I simply tip my hat, I smile and sit back |
| And then I wait for that friendly stampede |
| I started dancing so tight that this girl turned white |
| I thought she must be passing away |
| I said: now don’t let me down, 'Cause when I hit this town |
| I’ve got to live my whole life in a day |
| So won’t you line 'em all up and slide 'em all down |
| And let’s hear the jukebox roll |
| We’ve been living on bacon and beans |
| Playing the jacks and the queens… |
