Lyrics:

Working on the railroad
Sleeping on the ground
Eating 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
Ah, come in momma, the hog's done got me!

I'll go to Cowtown
I'll dance around
Board up your windows
Big ball'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 smiling
You can't find a frown
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
We'll dance around

Big ball's in Cowtown
We'll all go down
Big ball's in Cowtown
Big ball's in town
