There's a young man that I know whose age is twenty-one
Comes from down in southern Colorado
Just out of the service, he's looking for some fun
Someday soon, going with him someday soon

My parents can not stand him 'cause he rides the rodeo
My father says that he will leave me crying
I would follow him right down the roughest road I know
Someday soon, going with him someday soon

But when he comes to call, my pa ain't got a good word to say
Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in his younger days

So blow, you old Blue Northern, blow my love to me
He's driving down tonight from California
He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me
Someday soon, going with him someday soon
Someday soon, going with him someday soon
