[Verse]  
Well it'Es sunday at the Round-up and I'm feelin' bad
I don't know how many shots of whiskey I've had
it Aall started Wednesday, oh early that morn'
and Eevery two hours a new soldier was born
we'd Bbless each soldier as the Anumbers did grow
with Enames like Jose Cuervo, Jim Bean, and Old Crow
Then it's Eoff to the rodeo with tickets in hand
to hear the national anthem from our high school band
AUp in the grandstands the crowd yes they cheer
and Etake turns roundin' up those buckets of beer
we'd Bwatch the excitement 'till the Abull riding's done
then we Ehit the let 'er buck room to have us some fun
Well Ethursday mornin', we do 'er again
but we're always too late to see the rodeo begin
the Acannon would fire, the flag it would fall
and we'd saElute to our country and the trail bosses call
and Blater that night, we'd Ahit the back room
Edrinkin' more whiskey than an army could consume
[Chorus]
ANow that it's sunday and the whole damn thing's through
No more Eyip-shit and howdy and how do you do
No Amore topless women and tokens for booze
and Bthat's why we're singin'A, the post Round-up Eblues
[Verse]
EFriday mornin' is the westward ho
armed with donuts bloody marys to the parade we'd go
Aout on the sidewalk, old friends we did meet
and with Eany good fortune see the queen hit the street
Bhootin' at the women and the Amayor and such
and by E11am I drank way too much
By the Etime that saturday finally rolls around
my head tells my body that it'd better lay down
but my Apride takes over cause I'm from Pendleton
and I'd Ehead back downtown baby at a dead run
Bbettin' on the events cause you kAnow I can't lose
but Etomorrow I'll be singin' those post Round-up blues
EWhen the show's over, you get lookin' right
and you climb your tall horse because it's saturday night
and you head Aout on your hootin', drinkin' dancin' craze
and Ethings are goin wild in that Happy Canyon maze
and Blater that night, you Afinally collapse
but there's a E10am trap shoot at the hangover handicap
[Chorus]
ANow that it's sunday and the whole damn thing's through
No more Eyip-shit and howdy and how do you do
No Amore topless women and tokens for booze
and Bthat's why we're singin'A, the post Round-up Eblues

[Verse]

Well it's sunday at the Round-up and I'm feelin' bad

I don't know how many shots of whiskey I've had

it all started Wednesday, oh early that morn'

and every two hours a new soldier was born

B A

we'd bless each soldier as the numbers did grow

with names like Jose Cuervo, Jim Bean, and Old Crow

Then it's off to the rodeo with tickets in hand

to hear the national anthem from our high school band

Up in the grandstands the crowd yes they cheer

and take turns roundin' up those buckets of beer

B A

we'd watch the excitement 'till the bull riding's done

then we hit the let 'er buck room to have us some fun

Well thursday mornin', we do 'er again

but we're always too late to see the rodeo begin

the cannon would fire, the flag it would fall

and we'd salute to our country and the trail bosses call

B A

and later that night, we'd hit the back room

drinkin' more whiskey than an army could consume

[Chorus]

Now that it's sunday and the whole damn thing's through

No more yip-shit and howdy and how do you do

No more topless women and tokens for booze

B A E

and that's why we're singin', the post Round-up blues

[Verse]

Friday mornin' is the westward ho

armed with donuts bloody marys to the parade we'd go

out on the sidewalk, old friends we did meet

and with any good fortune see the queen hit the street

B A

hootin' at the women and the mayor and such

and by 11am I drank way too much

By the time that saturday finally rolls around

my head tells my body that it'd better lay down

but my pride takes over cause I'm from Pendleton

and I'd head back downtown baby at a dead run

B A

bettin' on the events cause you know I can't lose

but tomorrow I'll be singin' those post Round-up blues

When the show's over, you get lookin' right

and you climb your tall horse because it's saturday night

and you head out on your hootin', drinkin' dancin' craze

and things are goin wild in that Happy Canyon maze

B A

and later that night, you finally collapse

but there's a 10am trap shoot at the hangover handicap

[Chorus]

Now that it's sunday and the whole damn thing's through

No more yip-shit and howdy and how do you do

No more topless women and tokens for booze

B A E

and that's why we're singin', the post Round-up blues
