Lyrics

Take your coffee bitter Cook your beef steak rare Drink your whiskey straight Draw to all your pairs Pack the quickest pistol Break the toughest broncs Speak your piece with wisdom Sing a cowboy song Dance with your spurs on Twirl the girls around Tip your hat when that whistle blows As you win your last go-round Dance with your spurs on 'Cause the ride ain't all that long May your rowels still be spinnin' As they lay you in the ground May your spirit never grumble Learn from your mistakes If your life should ever stumble May your cinch not ever break Move your cattle easy Treat your partner square Rein your pony gentle Play your hand out fair Dance with your spurs on Twirl the girls around Tip your hat when that whistle blows As you win your last go-round Dance with your spurs on 'Cause the ride ain't all that long May your rowels still be spinnin' As they lay you in the ground BREAK We know you fought some battles We're all here gathered around The truth is on the tombstone You never let nobody down Dance with your spurs on Twirl the girls around Tip your hat when that whistle blows As you win your last go-round Dance with your spurs on 'Cause the ride ain't all that long May your rowels still be spinnin' As they lay you in the ground
