Oh, a cowboy needs a horse, needs a horse, needs a horse And she's gotta have a rope, have a rope, have a rope And she oughta' have a song, have a song, have a song If she wants to keep ridin'
Now a cowboy needs a hat, needs a hat, needs a hat And a pair of fancy boots, fancy boots, fancy boots And a set of shiny spurs, shiny spurs, shiny spurs If she wants to keep ridin'
Oh, the fence is long, and the sun is hot And the good Lord knows that a cowboy's gotta keep Ridin', ridin' along
So she gets herself a horse, and a rope, and a song And she finds herself a hat, fancy boots, shiny spurs And there's nothing more she needs, or can have, or can get If she wants to keep ridin', ridin' along
(Ad-lib vocal section)
Oh, the fence is long, and the sun is hot And the good Lord knows that a cowboy's gotta keep Ridin', ridin' along
Spurs, shiny spurs Boots, fancy boots Sings a western song Ro-oh-oh-ope And a horse If she wants to keep ridin', ridin' along.
