A cane and a high starched collar

(Words & music by Tepper – Bennett)
Cowboy, cowboy marry me I’ll bake you a cherry pie Well thank you very kindly mam But I’m too young to die Hi-lo-do-si-dosy-do Stay single and save a dollar Come Saturday night I’ll court a pretty girl With a cane and a high starched collar Cowboy if you’ll marry me I’ll be your darling Jenny Now why should I drink from just one well When I can drink from twen’y Hi-lo-do-si-dosy-do Stay single and save a dollar Come Saturday night I’ll court a pretty girl With a cane and a high starched collar Cowboy, cowboy name the day July ‘d be nice I reckon Gladly meet you at the church July the 32nd Hi-lo-do-si-dosy-do Stay single and save a dollar Come Saturday night I’ll court a pretty girl With a cane and a high starched collar You sleep all day and spoon all night And eat your favorite chow Then why should I get married mam That’s what I’m doing now Hi-lo-do-si-dosy-do Stay single and save a dollar Come Saturday night I’ll court a pretty girl With a cane and a high starched collar
