With a long lariat;
He would carry it;
Roy Rogers had rode in on Trigger.

he told her that he loved her
and that his love was true
he sealed it with a kiss
underneath a crescent moon

A plug of chaw and a lariat
Two six-shooters and a shoulder rat
He sure looks silly; he sure looks strange
And he's looking for his home on the range....
