Denver - The New Christy Minstrels

Ha!

Come on, big mule!

I was drivin' a rig outta Texas

All loaded an' bound for Cheyenne

Takin' my pleasures so freely

Just a good lovin' ramblin' man

I had quite a way with the ladies

«Sweet Daddy» was my middle name

Till I got to a place they called Denver

And I ain’t never been quite the same

Ha!

I’ve been to Saint Louis and Abilene

I’ve rambled through many a town

But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord

That’s where I’m settlin' down

Well, I kissed her an' swore that I loved her

I told her some day she’d be mine

And then I laughed all the way back to Texas

Hah-hah, to think she’d believe that ol' line

Well, I got to pinin' for Denver

It’s funny how things come to be

As I slipped the ring on her finger

Well, I knew that the laugh was on me

Ha!

I’ve been to Saint Louis and Abilene

I’ve rambled through many a town

But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord

That’s where I’m settlin' down

Now all you young fellas take warnin'

You single men, run for your life

Be careful an' stay out o' Denver

Or else you’ll wind up with a wife

You’ll walk down the street unsuspectin'

And you won’t believe what you see

'Cause the prettiest gals live in Denver

Lord, you’ll wind up happy, like me

Ha!

I’ve been to Saint Louis and Abilene

I’ve rambled through many a town

But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord

That’s where I’m settlin' down

Come on, big mule!

Got me a woman in Denver, Lord

That’s where I’m settlin' down

Ha!
