Cowboy, cowboy marry me 
I'll bake you a cherry pie 
Well thank you very kindly mam 
But I'm too young to die 

Hi-lo-do-si-dosy-do 
Stay single and save a dollar 
Come Saturday night I'll court a pretty girl 
With a cane and a high starched collar 

Cowboy if you'll marry me 
I'll be your darling Jenny 
Now why should I drink from just one well 
When I can drink from twen'y 

Hi-lo-do-si-dosy-do 
Stay single and save a dollar 
Come Saturday night I'll court a pretty girl 
With a cane and a high starched collar 

Cowboy, cowboy name the day 
July 'd be nice I reckon 
Gladly meet you at the church 
July the 32nd 

Hi-lo-do-si-dosy-do 
Stay single and save a dollar 
Come Saturday night I'll court a pretty girl 
With a cane and a high starched collar 

You sleep all day and spoon all night 
And eat your favorite chow 
Then why should I get married mam 
That's what I'm doing now 

Hi-lo-do-si-dosy-do 
Stay single and save a dollar 
Come Saturday night I'll court a pretty girl 
With a cane and a high starched collar
