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
Yeah, come in momma, the hog's done got me

Put on your new shoes, put on you gown
Shake off those sad blues, big ball's in town
Big ball's in cowtown, we'll all go down
Big ball's in cowtown, we'll dance around

I'll stay in cowtown, I'll stick 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
Yeah, sweet

Put on your new shoes, put on you gown
Shake off those sad blues, big ball's in town
Big ball's in cowtown, we'll all go down
Big ball's in cowtown, big ball's in town
