Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

We're headin' 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

 

[Verse 2]

Gather 'round the old chuck wagon, fix you up some grub

Flip those flapjacks over in the pan

Old Jim Ross, the cookie, boys he sure can toss 'em up

Well his chuck is good enough for any man

 

[Chorus]

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

 

[Verse 3]

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

 

[Chorus]

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
