We’re headed for the round-up, goin’ to the big stampede Old Dick Cosgrove’s ridin’ in the lead Hear the rattlin’ chuck wagon and the snortin’ buckin’ broncs Headin’ for the Calgary Stampede
Gather ’round the old chuck wagon, fix you up some grub Flip those flapjacks over in the pan Old Jim Ross, the cook he, boys he sure can toss ’em up Well his chuck is good enough for any man
We’re a jolly bunch of cowboys and we hope you are the same We have no cares, the laws we seldom heed Come gather in our circle and we’ll sing this round-up song Headin’ for the Calgary Stampede
The guy who rode Old Steamboat, Jack Manley was his name A better pal a cowpunch never knew The way that hoss could toss a rope and take the lead in hand When you’re stuck he’d always see you through
We’re a jolly bunch of cowboys and we hope you are the same We have no cares, the laws we seldom heed Come gather in our circle and we’ll sing this round-up song Headin’ for the Calgary Stampede Yes we’re headin’ for the Calgary Stampede
