Workin' on the railroad Sleepin' on the ground
Eatin' saltine crackers Ten cents a pound
Big Ball's in Cowtown We'll all go down
Big Ball's in Cowtown We'll dance around
(Ehhhh, come in momma, the hog's done got me)
I'll go to Cowtown I'll dance around
Board up your windows The big boy's in town
Big Ball's in Cowtown We'll all go down
Big Ball's in Cowtown We'll dance around
Put on your new shoes Put on your gown
Shake off them sad blues The Big Ball's in town
Big Ball's in Cowtown We'll all go down
Big Ball's in Cowtown We'll dance around
Everybody's smilin' You can't find a frown
The girls are all happy Cause the Big Ball's in town
Big Ball's in Cowtown We'll all go down
Big Ball's in Cowtown
Yeah, yeah Big Ball's in town
