One, two, three, four I was ridin' my horse 'cross the pasture I jerked my catch twine down I seen a cow and a sticker in her eye And I bedded that ol' hide down I bedded that ol' hide down My horse, he knew his business And he held the rope just right My dog, he's circling 'round and 'round As I pulled that sticker from her eye Boy get back, I'm pulling a sticker from her eye, you booger ♪ I noticed that she had a tight bag Her calf, nowhere to be found I told my dog, if you want something to do Go find her calf, bring him back 'round Go find her calf, boy, and bring him back 'round" He darted over the hillside And he went plum out of sight When I looked up he was bringing back a calf Put that calf by his momma's side Go put that calf right by his momma's side ♪ Well he'd been gone all night Maybe for more than a day So he got himself a belly full of milk Put that calf and his momma on their way Oh, put that calf and his momma on their way This day in the life of a cowboy While that old darn world's spinning 'round Me and my dog made a happy reunion When we bedded that old hide down When we bedded that old hide down
