I blew into Dallas feeling kind-a low Thought I'd make me a bit of change at the rodeo Heard the line boss saying "You ornery cowpoke Fifteen bills to any man who can ride Showboat" (Who can ride Showboat) Showboat you old cuss I'm gonna ride you or I'll bust Hold the reins watch the chains Turn him loose that Cayuse I'm gonna ride They put me in the saddle the reins were in my hand Then I saw her sitting there watching from the stands She was kind-a pretty a blonde with big blue eyes I could see it hurt her so, to see me have to ride (To see me have to ride) Showboat that old cuss I'm gonna ride him or I'll bust Hold the reins watch the chains Turn him loose that Cayuse I'm gonna ride He bucked me once a-running then he looked me in the eye I slid down around his neck reaching for the sky Then he sent me flying like a little bird Lord, I think when I came down I ate ten pounds of dirt (Ate ten pounds of dirt) Showboat you old cuss I'm gonna ride you or I'll bust Hold the reins ain't it a shame That Cayuse done throwed me loose and broke my leg I woke up in the General feeling kind-a hurt Till I found that blue-eyed blonde turned out to be my nurse She fixed me with patches and love I thought was free Till she said: "Now cowboy you're gonna marry me" (Gonna marry me) Showboat, you old cuss, you done fixed me up much worse Hold the reins ain't it a shame I'm getting married and Old Showboat you're to blame I'm getting married and Old Showboat you're to blame
