THE LITTLE COW-GIRL

We ain’t jest much on stylish,
But we got a good Home Ranch,
En the little old horse-pasture
Runs clear down to the branch.
But we got a good Home Ranch,
En the little old horse-pasture
Runs clear down to the branch.
En we’re all plumb contented
Since Dad put hinges on the door,
En with his old brown fiddle
Plays “Turkey in the Straw”!

En with his old brown fiddle
Plays “Turkey in the Straw”!
I got er pair er shop-made boots
That Dad had made fer me,
Er pair er silver-mounted spurs
Es pretty es can be;
That Dad had made fer me,
Er pair er silver-mounted spurs
Es pretty es can be;
We ride ter all the dances,
En when I get on the floor,
I’m sure to hear Dad playin’
“Old Turkey in the Straw”!
En when I get on the floor,
I’m sure to hear Dad playin’
“Old Turkey in the Straw”!
I’ve got a young cow-puncher roped,
I’ve got ’im on my string,
En everything is lovely,
We’ll be married in the spring;
I’ve got ’im on my string,
En everything is lovely,
We’ll be married in the spring;
Es we ain’t much on religion,
We’ll be married by the Law,
En I kin hear Dad playin’
“Old Turkey in the Straw”!
