We're headin' for the round-up, goin' to the big stampede
Old Dick Cosgrove ri-din' in the lead
The old chuck wagon rattlin', the snortin' buckin' broncs
We're a-head-in' for the Calgary stam pede
Get around the old chuck wagon and get yourself some grub
Flip those flapjacks over in the pan
Old Jim Ross, the cookie he sure can throw her up
Well his chuck is good enough for any man
Oh, we're a jolly bunch of cowboys we hope you are the same
We have no cares the laws we never heed
Oh, gather in the circle and sing this round-up song
We're ahead-in' for the Calgary stampede
The buckin' broncs snortin' and cowboys ridin' high
Longhorns pawin' up the big corral
Awaitin' for the battle and bellerin' in the chutes
And cowboys yellin' "Ride 'em!" to their pals
Well the guy who rode old Steamboat Jack, Manley is his name
A better pal a cowboy never knew
The way that guy could toss a rope, he'd take the lead in hand
And if you're stuck he'd always see you through
Oh, we're a jolly bunch of cowboys we hope you are the same
We have no cares the laws we never heed
Oh, gather in the circle and sing this round-up song
We're ahead-in' for the Calgary stampede
Pick yourself a sweet-heart and join the cowboy ball
Oh hug 'em all and give 'em all a whirl
Oh ask 'em how they'd like the life of cookin' on a ranch
And tell 'em all you wish they were your girl
Oh, we're a jolly bunch of cowboys we hope you are the same
We have no cares the laws we never heed
Oh, gather in the circle and sing this round-up song
We're ahead-in' for the Calgary stampede
Yes we're headin' for the Calgary stampede
