1 * 57 * Too old to wrangle or ride on the swing * * 1 * You beat the tri-angle and you curse every-thing * * 4 * (*) If dirt was a kingdom, then you'd be the king____
CHORUS: 1 57 1 4 (*) On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail____ 1 * 57 * Our old woman's lonesome to-night____ 1 57 1 4 (*) Your French Harp blows like a lone bawling calf____ 1 6m 2m 57 It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin * * 4 1 Get in there and blow out the light____
1 * 57 * With your snake oil and herbs and your liniments too * * 1 * You can do any-thing that a doctor can do * * 4 * (*) Ex-cept find a cure for your own goddamn stew____
1 * 57 * The cook-fire's gone out and the coffee's all gone * * 1 * The boys are all up and we're raising the dawn * * 4 * (*) You're still sitting there all lost in a song____
1 * 57 * I know that some-day that I'll be just the same * * 1 * Wearing an apron in-stead of a name * * 4 * (*) But no one can change it and no one's to blame____
