when i joined the navy

i left my mother

i met a man there

man, like no other

well he rode a stud

and he wore a patch

he sailed the seven seas now

and he wore a stetson hat

he was a six-shooter

and a buccaneer

he was a black-bearded cowboy and he told me in my ear

he said a man of my caliber, it's sad you can't be seen

with a yellow-bellied, land-loving, city roaming queen

he said shootup my heart

ride em cowboys in my heart x3

i ain't much for fighting but i swear to god that i'd knock him on the floor

but he laughed at me and said 'i've killed a dozen men or more'

besides he said i sure ain't here just to get my clothes all torn

so we drank a bit of his old rum and some of my old corn??

he started shoving coins along the socket of a sling

and when i asked him why, he said 'oh hell, i gotta do something'

well i was born a pothead but my heart is in penzance

well i got to know my hoochie grabbing on my pants??

ride em cowboys in my heart x3

yeah he said something else too

wah, from sunnyside to riverdale and from kingston to the dump??

he's leaning here, he's sitting there he's a loiterer on your lawn

he might be high upon a horse, he could be lowered down

but he's lord of flies and king of men and holy in this town

when he ain't tired he's just as drunk from drinking yesterday

cuz south pacific western inland time just ain't the same

now with a crow he looked just like saint francis of assisi

when his vultures spied upon my pillow i got up to leave

and i heard em say

shoot up my heart

ride em cowboys in my heart x3

alright evrybody
