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

Ah, come in momma, the hog's done got me!


I'll go to Cowtown

I'll dance 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


Put on your new shoes

Put on your gown

Shake off them sad blues

The big ball's in town


Big ball's in Cowtown

We'll all go down

Big ball's in Cowtown

We'll dance around


Everybody's smiling

You can't find a frown

Girls are all happy

'Cause the big ball's in town


Big ball's in Cowtown

We'll all go down

Big ball's in Cowtown

We'll dance around


Big ball's in Cowtown

We'll all go down

Big ball's in Cowtown

Big ball's in town
