Old Showboat — текст песни (Stonewall Jackson)

I blew into Dallas feelin` kinda low thought I`d make me a bit of change at the rodeo
Heard the lineboss sayin` you on`ry cowpokes
Fifteen bales to any man who can ride Showboat (who can ride Showboat)
Showboat you old cuss I`m gonna ride you or I`ll bust
Hold the reins watch the chains turn him loose that cayuse I`m gonna ride
They put me in the saddle the rein here in my hand
Then I saw her sittin` there a watchin` from the stands
She was kind of pretty a blonde with big blue eyes
I could see it hurt her so to see me have to ride (see me have to ride)
Showboat that old cuss I`m gonna ride him or I`ll bust
Hold the reins watch the chains turn him loose that cayuse I`m gonna ride
He bugged me once from runnin` then he looked me in the eye
I slid down around his neck reachin` for the sky
Then he sent me flyin` like a little bird
Lord I think when I came down I ate ten pounds of dirt (ate ten pounds of dirt)
Showboat you old cuss I`m gonna ride you or I`ll bust
Hold the reins ain`t it a shame that cayuse done throwed me loose and broke my leg
I woke up in the General feelin` kinda hurt
Till I found that blue eyed blonde turned out to be my nurse
She fixed me up with patches and love I thought was free
Till she said now cowboy you`re gonna marry me (gonna marry me)
Showboat you old cuss you done fixed me up much worse
Hold the reins ain`t it a shame I`m getting married and old Showboat you`re to blame
I`m getting married and old Showboat you`re to blame
I`m getting married and old Showboat you`re to blame
