Saturday morning riding the trail
With Trigger, Roy, Buttermilk and Dale
Across the wide prairies so green
With Ringeye, Frog, Champion and Gene
Trotted my horse around a bend
With Blackjack, Rocky, Midnight and Ken
Always watching for outlaw dangers
With Scout, Tonto, Silver and the Lone Ranger  
Drawing those cap guns in practice
With Monte, Partner, Sunset and Cactus
Just an old stick was my pony
With Wild Bill, Sonny, Tom Mix and Tony
Oh the cowboy things I did
With Loco, Pancho, Diablo and the Cisco Kid
Chasing the bad guys who stole all the cash
With Durango, Raider, Black Diamond and Lash
I couldn't hear Mom yell not so loud
With Hoppy, Topper, Eddie Dean and White Cloud
A cowboy I was and a cowboy will I always be
As I remember that Saturday morning TV
