歌曲歌詞
Way high up in the Sierry Peaks
Where the yellow-jack pines grow tall
Sandy Bob and Buster Jiggs
Had a round-up camp last fall
They'd taken their ponies and their running irons
Maybe a dog or two
And they lowed thy'd brand every long-eared calf
That came within their view
Now many a long-eared doggie
That didn't push up by day
Had his old ears whittled and his old hide sizzled
In a most artistic way
Now Sandy Bob he said one day
As he throwed his cigar down
I'm tired of this cowography
And I allows I'm a going into town
Well they saddled their ponies up and they struckem a lope
And how them boys could ride
And them was the days that a ol cowboy
Could oil up his whole inside
Well they started out at the Kentucky Bar
At the head of the Whisky Row
And they wound down at the Depot House
About forty drinks below
Well they setem up and they turned 'em around
And they went the other way
And I swear the God-forsaken truth
Them boys got drunk that day
They mounted up and they headed to camp
And they was packing a pretty good load
