Cowboy Dan

Da Yoopers

Compositor: Não Disponível

1. i live up north of michigan where the mighty jackpines grow
In the land of the pasty where strangers seldom go
I?m cowboy dan the cowboy man, i ride the iron range
I?ll play my ole? guitar and sing for a dollar and some change

Chorus:
It?s tough to be a cowboy up here in yooperland
Chasing cows in january would kill the average man
He?s rough and tough and ready
He?s a yooper buck-a-roo
I live on beans and bacon
And lots of sisu too


2. my best friend?s a loggin? horse, his name is stumpy bill
He lost his leg to a snowy snake up on suicide hill
We drive cows like beagle hounds from humboldt to skanee
Cross the rugged piece of land they call the ole u.p.

Bridge:
He roams the plains and deserts with the cowpokes way out west
Wranglin? up here in yooperland is what he likes the best

3. one time out on da keewanee on a hot night in july
We got caught in a snow storm that buried us alive
We laid ?round five minutes, then the weather changed
It went up to 97 out on the copper range

(repeat chorus)
