A bunch of jolly cowboys, when the roundup days were done
F C D G
De- -cided they would head for town and have a little fun

As they rode gaily down the trail I could hear the old cook say

Hang the key on the bunkhouse door ?cause we?ll be late to- -night
G
Don?t leave the light a-burnin? dear, we may not look right
C F C G
The trail is long, the goin?s tough and someone may get tight
F C G C
So hang the key on the bunkhouse door ?cause we?ll be late to- -night
Inst: Follow pattern of first verse

Those city gals are lots of fun but they can?t see our ways

Hang the key on the bunkhouse door ?cause we?ll be late to- -night
