Subject: a big ball in cowtown


A big ball in cowtown

Recorded by bob wills and the texas playboys

Written by hoyle nix


Aagghh! let the ladies split out wide

Grab your pardner - go hog wild. aagghh! now, now, now;


Chorus

[g] big ball's in [g7] cowtown

[c] we'll all go [g] down

[g] big ball's in [g7] cowtown

[d] we'll dance a-[g] round.


[g] workin' on the [g7] railroad

[c] sleepin' on the [g] ground

Eatin' saltine [g7] crackers

[d] ten cents a [g] pound.


Chorus


Put on your new shoes

Put on your gown

Take off them sack clothes

The big ball's in town.


Chorus


I'll stay in cowtown

I'll stick around

Bolt up your window

The big ball's in town.


Chorus
