Cowboy, cowboy marry me

I'll bake you a cherry pie

Well thank you very kindly mam

But I'm too young to die

Hi-lo-do-si-do

Stay single and save a dollar

Come Saturday night I'll court a pretty girl

With a cane and a high starched collar

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

Cowboy if you'll marry me

I'll be your darling Jenny

Now why should I drink from just one well

When I can drink from twen'y

Hi-lo-do-si-do

Stay single and save a dollar

Come Saturday night I'll court a pretty girl

With a cane and a high starched collar

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

Cowboy, cowboy name the day

July 'd be nice I reckon

I’ll gladly meet you at the church

July the 32nd

Hi-lo-do-si-do

Stay single and save a dollar

Come Saturday night I'll court a pretty girl

With a cane and a high starched collar

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

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

Hi-lo-do-si-do

Stay single and save a dollar

Come Saturday night I'll court a pretty girl

With a cane and a high starched collar
