I ride my horse cross the pasture I jerk my catch twine down I seen a cow and a sticker in her eye And I bedded that old hide down I bedded that old 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 That old darn worlds out spinning round Me and my dog made a happy reunion when we bedded that old hide down When we bedded that old hide down
