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-low- dosey-doe
Stay single and save a dollar
Come Saturday night I’ll court a pretty gal
With a cane and a high starched collar

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

* Repeat

Cowboy, cowboy name the day
July ‘d be nice I reckon
Gladly meet you at the church
July the 32nd

* Repeat

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

* Repeat
