Old Showboat

I blew into Dallas feelin' kinda low
 Thought I'd make me a bit of change at the Rodeo
 Heard the line boss 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 rein, watch the chain
 Turn him loose, that cayuse, I'm gonna ride
 They put me in the saddle, rein here in my hand
 Then I saw her sittin' there and watchin' from the stand
 She was kinda pretty, blond with big blue eyes
 I could see it hurt her so to see me have to ride
 See me have to ride
 Showboat, you old cuss
 I'm gonna ride you or I'll bust
 Hold the reins, watch the chain
 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 and reachin' for the sky
 Then he sent me flyin' like a little bird
 Lord, I think when I came down, I eat ten pounds of dirt
 Eat ten pounds of dirt
 Showboat, you old cuss
 You done fixed me up much worse
 Hold the rein, ain't it a shame
 That cayuse done throw me a loose and he broke my leg
 I woke up in the general, feelin' kinda hurt
 Till I found that blue eyed blond turned out to be my nurse
 She fixed me up with patches and love I thought was free
 'Til 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 rein, ain't it a shame
 I'ma gettin' married and Old Showboat, you're to blame
