Lyrics
Chorus:
I love to roam out yonder
Out where the Buff’lo wander
Free as the Eagle flying
I’m a-roping and a-tying
I’m a-roping and a-tying
- Give me my ranch and my cattle
Far from the great city’s rattle
Give me a big herd to battle
For I just love herding the cattle - Give me my bridle and saddle
And my old Pinto I’ll straddle
I’ll get the cowboys a-riding
Out where the rustlers are hiding - Sometimes the winter storms tearing
Set all the cattle a-raring
But when the winter is over
We’re sure enough in the clover - Give me the wide open spaces
That’s just where I know my place is
I love the Ro-de-o dearly
And the Big Round-Up yearly - Tho’ we play seven eleven
My Ranch is next door to Heaven
We smile when we take a beatin’
But hang a rat when he’s cheatin’
