WOODY GUTHRIE - THE RANGER'S COMMAND
Words and Music by Woody Guthrie
[Verse 1]
G C
Come all of you cowboys all over this land
D7 G
I'll sing you the law of the Ranger's command
G C
To hold a six-shooter and never to run
D7 G
As long as there's bullets in both of your guns
[Verse 2]
G C
I met a fair maiden whose name I don't know
D7 G
I asked her to the round up with me would she go
G C
She said she'd go with me to the cold round-up
D7 G
And drink that hard liquor from a cold bitter cup
[Verse 3]
G C
We started for the round up in the fall of the year
D7 G
Expecting to get there, with a herd of fat steer
G C
When the rustlers broke on us, in the dead hour of night
D7 G
She rose from her warm bed, a battle to fight
[Verse 4]
G C
She rose from her warm bed with a gun in each hand
D7 G
Saying, "Come all you cowboys, and fight for your land"
G C
Come all of you cowboys, and don't ever run
D7 G
As long as there's bullets in both of your guns
