     Words and Music by Woody Guthrie
[Verse 1]
Come all Gof you cowboys all over this lCand
I'll siD7ng you the law of the Ranger's Gcommand
To Ghold a six-shooter and never to rCun
As loD7ng as there's bullets in both of your gGuns
[Verse 2]
GI met a fair maiden whose name I don't Cknow
I D7asked her to the round up with me would she Ggo
GShe said she'd go with me to the cold roCund-up
And D7drink that hard liquor from a cold bitter Gcup
[Verse 3]
GWe started for the round up in the Cfall of the year
D7Expecting to get there, with a herd of fGat steer
GWhen the rustlers broke on us, in the dCead hour of night
She D7rose from her warm bed, a battle to fGight
[Verse 4]
GShe rose from her warm bed with a Cgun in each hand
SayinD7g, "Come all you cowboys, and fight for your Gland"
GCome all of you cowboys, and Cdon't ever run
As D7long as there's bullets in both of your Gguns

Come all of you cowboys all over this land

And drink that hard liquor from a cold bitter cup

[Verse 3]

We started for the round up in the fall of the year

Expecting to get there, with a herd of fat steer

When the rustlers broke on us, in the dead hour of night

She rose from her warm bed, a battle to fight

Come all of you cowboys, and don't ever run
