[Intro]
Working on the railroad, sleeping on the ground
Eating saltine crackers ten cents a pound
[Chorus]
Big ball's in Cowtown - we'll all go down
Big ball's in Cowtown - we'll dance around
[Bridge]
(Ah, come in momma, the hog's done got me)
I'll go to Cowtown, I'll dance around
Board up your windows - big ball's in town
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Put on your new shoes, put on you gown
Shake off them sad blues - big ball's in town
[Chorus]
Everybody's smiling, you can't find a frown
Girls are all happy cause big ball's in town
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Big ball's in Cowtown - we'll all go down
Big ball's in Cowtown, big ball's in town
