The Dust Eatin Cowboys at the Rear of the Herd (in D, 3/4 time)
(from Hotmud Family recording)
D G D
I laid in some wages, and went on a spree
A7
But whiskey and wimmin got the better of me
D G D
Boys, you might as well shoot for the man in the moon
G D A7 D
As to shoot for the girls at the Red Dog Sa-loon.
A7 G D
They’re too hot to handle and too cold to touch
A7 E7 A7
And a two-dollar kiss is a little too much
D G D
The handsome young dandies are always pre-ferred
G D A7 D
To the dust eatin’ cowboys at the rear of the herd.
There’s lots of them hungry old rounders around
Who’d give a month’s pay for a weekend in town
For an arm full of gingham and a glass full of foam
Now they’re hustling’ for train fare to take them back home.
But they sold off the prairie for a fistful of change
Now there’s barbed wire fences all over the range
Before they done business they should have conferred
With the dust eatin’ cowboys at the rear of the herd.
