2.On a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle
I started out a-punchin´those long-horned cattle

3.I´m up in the morning before daylight
And before I get to sleepin´ the old moon´s shining bright

4.Oh,it´s bacon and beans almost every single day
And I´d sooner be a-eatin´prairie hay

5.I went to the boss for to draw my roll
He had it figured out I was nine dollars in the hole

6.So I went up to the boss and said I won´t take that
And I slapped him in the face with my old slouch hat

7.I´ll sell my outfit just as soon as I can
´Cause I ain´t punchin´cattle for no mean boss man

8.With my knees in the saddle and my seat in the sky
I´ll quit punchin´cattle in the sweet by and by
