00:00 I'd like to sing a cowboy song, but I gotta take my guitar off.
00:03 I mean my tie off before I can get my guitar on.
00:06 Sing a cowboy song.
00:08 Um, any cowboys out here today?
00:12 [applause]
00:16 Give me a... Well, alright, let's start off now.
00:19 [guitar playing]
00:22 Here's a song we had an album called "Ride This Train" about 21 years ago.
00:28 Cowboy class.
00:30 [guitar playing]
00:34 I ride an old pace, I lead an old dance
00:40 I'm off to Montana for to throw the hooligans
00:47 They feed in the coolies, they water in the draw
00:54 The tails are all matted, their backs are all raw
01:00 Ride around little doggies, ride around slow
01:07 The fiery and slippy are raring to go
01:14 [guitar playing]
01:17 Bill Jones had two daughters and a song
01:23 One went to Denver, the other went wrong
01:30 His young wife died in a pool room fight
01:36 But he tries to keep singing from morning to night
01:42 Ride around little doggies, ride around slow
01:49 The fiery and slippy are raring to go
01:56 [guitar playing]
02:11 Now when I die, take my saddle from the wall
02:17 Strap it on my pony, lead him out of the stall
02:24 Tie my bones on his back, turn our faces to the west
02:30 And we'll ride the prairies, and we'll love the best
02:36 Ride around little doggies, ride around slow
02:43 The fiery and slippy are raring to go
02:50 [guitar playing]
02:58 As I walked out on the streets of Laredo
03:04 As I walked out on Laredo one day
03:09 I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen
03:15 Wrapped in white linen, cold as a clay
03:21 I can see by your outfit, you are a cowboy
03:28 These words he did say as a bull they walked by
03:33 Come and sit down beside me, hear my sad story
03:39 I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die
03:45 Then beat the drum slowly, lay the fife lowly
03:51 Lay the dead march as you carry me along
03:56 Take me to the green valley, lay the sod over me
04:02 I'm a young cowboy and though I've done wrong
04:09 [guitar playing]
04:14 Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin
04:20 Six pretty maidens to bear up my pall
04:25 Throw bunches of roses all over my coffin
04:31 Roses to deaden the clots as they fall
04:37 Then beat the drum slowly, lay the fife lowly
04:43 Lay the dead march as you carry me along
04:48 Take me to the green valley, lay the sod over me
04:54 I'm a young cowboy and though I've done wrong
05:02 [applause]
