- Taters Up
-
- Taters up taters down put your
heel into the ground
- Taters up taters down take my
place and hang around
-
- Old Sandy grabbed a woman who made
the tater pie
- Danced with her on Sunday, on
Monday told a lie
- Said he'd be back in a week but he
never was
- Had to go to Texas and on his chin
grow fuzz
-
- Taters up taters down put your
heel into the ground
- Taters up taters down take my
place and hang around
-
- Now Billy was a bad man and robbed
the local bank
- Miss Eileen cried about it and
said her boat had sank
- The sheriff found old Billy and
got the money back
- Eileen got her savings and put it
in a sack
-
- Taters up taters down put your
heel into the ground
- Taters up taters down take my
place and hang around
-
- Micah had a pistol and practiced
shooting straight
- Carried it around the town and
when he played cards late
- When his wife got wind of this she
popped him on the head
- Said "Boy you'd best be careful
fore I shoot you dead."
-
- Taters up taters down put your
heel into the ground
- Taters up taters down take my
place and hang around
-
- Now when you see the cowboy clear
a path for him
- Cause ridin out amongst the cow
makes his eyesight dim
- Put a bottle in his hand in some
dark saloon
- he'll see twenty twenty while
howlin' at the moon
-
- Taters up taters down put your
heel into the ground
- Taters up taters down take my
place and hang around
-
- A cowboys' life is something
others think is grand
- But he don't fall off his horse
with a background band
- That isn't news to him or her when
they greet the dawn
- Cause even after eating dirt
they'll smile and ride on
-
- Taters up taters down put your
heel into the ground
- Taters up taters down take my
place and hang around
