Elvis Presley - A Cane & a High Starched Collar
(words & music by tepper - bennett)
Cowboy, cowboy marry me
I’ll bake you a cherry pie
Well thank you very kindly mam
But I’m too young to die
Hi-lo-do-si-dosy-do
Stay single and save a dollar
Come saturday night I’ll court a pretty girl
With a cane and a high starched collar
Cowboy if you’ll marry me
I’ll be your darling jenny
Now why should I drink from just one well
When I can drink from twen’y
Hi-lo-do-si-dosy-do
Stay single and save a dollar
Come saturday night I’ll court a pretty girl
With a cane and a high starched collar
Cowboy, cowboy name the day
July ’d be nice I reckon
Gladly meet you at the church
July the 32nd
Hi-lo-do-si-dosy-do
Stay single and save a dollar
Come saturday night I’ll court a pretty girl
With a cane and a high starched collar
You sleep all day and spoon all night
And eat your favorite chow
Then why should I get married mam
That’s what I’m doing now
Hi-lo-do-si-dosy-do
Stay single and save a dollar
Come saturday night I’ll court a pretty girl
With a cane and a high starched collar
