D        G             D                     G        D                      A7
Saturday night and the old town was jumping, trophies presented at the rodeo ball

D       G          D                         G            D            A7       D
I got a buckle for saddle bronc riding, more boozin' than skiting than I call recall

D            G          D                        G           D           A7
There in his swag is my hell raisin' cobber, all black eyes, bruises and snoring

        G            A7         G         D          G            A7           D
Hey, we sure must've had us one hell of a party, the way that I’m feeling this morning.

Eyeballs are aching and so is my shoulder, I'm weak in the knees and stiff in the back

     D            G        D                    G             D           A7          D
That big chestnut mare was wild and unbroken, I think I’ll go back to the old station hacks

  D              G            D                   G          D            A7
I don't like the look of that face in the mirror, shaving is painful some mornings

        G            A7         G         D          G            A7           D
Hey, we sure must've had us one hell of a party, the way that I’m feeling this morning. Play it now.

I sit on my bed and I pull on my boots, and there are my spurs and my wallet

    D           G             D                       G           A7         D
the tools of my trade and the money I’ve made, but my wallet's as bare as my pocket

  D          G          D                        G           D              A7
A big silver buckle and five hundred dollars all gone and my cobber's still snoring

        G            A7         G         D          G            A7           D

I sit on my bed and I pull on my boots, and there are my spurs and my wallet

    D           G             D                       G           A7         D
the tools of my trade and the money I’ve made, and my wallet's as bare as my pocket

     D          G         D                          G          D             A7
That big silver buckle is all that I’m showing and a red headed woman's still snoring

        G            A7         G         D          G            A7           D
