send me on home boys the cattle retire 

wind up the mountain is blowin' in my ears 

been 7 weeks now I home once again 

warm meal some whiskey let the wild games begin 



seven card stud is the deal I require 

with outlaws and beggars and lawmens and liars 

whiskey will flow until the damn runs dry 

make 'em grow crazy with that fire in their eyes 



(chorus) 

My fortune was made but I've lost it twice 

My timing was off every time I tried 

When all circumstances have worn me thin 

I take my last chance and I'm home again 

if the timing were right I'd stay with you tonight... 



the ladies are dancing and spinnin' round 

smoke rings and big dreams will lay you right down 

soon I'll be leaving this magic behind 

to the dust of my cattle with too much sunshine 



send me on home boys the cattle retire 

wind up the mountain is blowin' in my ears 

been 7 weeks now I home once again 

warm meal some whiskey let the wild games begin 



(chorus)
