Lyrics:

Up in the morning at the break of day

You'll hear a big bearded cowboy at the chuck wagon say

'Gather 'round boys, the coffee's hot on the fire

There's a full day of branding, we're heating the iron

I want to smell that scorched hair and burning hide

The horses have grain boys, they're ready to ride

Roll up your bed rolls and jump in your boots

Daylight is a-wastin', boys, it's out of the shoots'



Come on and ride, cowboy, ride

Roll up your riatas and pull your sombreros down tight

We're going to ride, ride, ride where the trail will wind

You'd better drive, drive, drive or we'll leave you behind

Come on and ride, ride, ride, cowboy, ride



It's a beautiful morning and you've had a good rest

You ropers get ready to be at your best

Saddle them ponies and tighten the cinch (Yahoo!)

Pull on your gloves and take your hat off the fence

We'll take the cattle to market, and after they're sold

You can all let your hair down, get lazy or bold

Riding to town to find a lady or two

She'll take you by the arms and shake the dust off your boots



Come on and ride, cowboy, ride

Roll up your riatas and pull your sombreros down tight

We're going to ride, ride, ride where the trail will wind

You'd better drive, drive, drive or we'll leave you behind

Come on and ride, ride, ride, cowboy, ride



Come on and ride, cowboy, ride

Roll up your riatas and pull your sombreros down tight

We're going to ride, ride, ride where the trail will wind

You'd better drive, drive, drive or we'll leave you behind

Come on and ride, ride, ride, cowboy, ride
