Песня: The Cowboys‘ Christmas Ball
Way out in Old Nevada
Where the Truckee's waters flow
Where the cattle are browsing
And the Spanish ponies grow
Where the Northerns come on whistling
From behind the Neutral Strip
And the prairie dogs are sneezing
As if they had the grip
But the coyotes come howling
'round the ranches after dark
And the bluebirds are singing
To the lovely meadow lark
Where the bighorns are grazing
And the lonely plovers call
It was there that I attended
The Cowboys' Christmas ball

The boys have left the ranches
And come to town in piles
The ladies-"kinda scatterin'"
Had gathered in for miles
The room was togged out gorgeous
With mistletoe and shawls
And candles flickered frescoes,
Around the airy walls
The women folks looked lovely
The boys looked kinda treed
Till the leader got to yelling:
"Hey, fellows let's stampede!"
And the music started sighin',
An' wailin' through the hall
As a kind of introduction
To the Cowboy's Christmas ball

Their leader was a fellow
That came from Swenson's ranch
They called him "Windy Billy
From little dead man's ranch"
His rig was kinda careless,
Big spurs and high-heeled boots.
He had the reputation
That comes when "fellers shoots"
His voice was like a bugle
Upon the mountainous height
His feet were animated
And a mighty movin' sight
When he commenced to holler,
Now, fellers stake your pen!
Lock horns with all them heifers,
And wrestle ‘em like men
Salute your lovely critters;
Now swing and let 'em go
Climb the grape vine
'Round ‘em-all hands do-ce-do!
You Maverick, join the round-up
Just skip her waterfall
Huh! It was gettin' happy,
The Cowboys' Christmas ball!

Don't tell me 'bout cotillions,
Or Germans. No sir‘ee!
That whirl at Carson city
Just takes the cake with me.
I'm sick of lazy shufflings,
Of them I've had my fill
Give me a frontier break-down,
Backed up by Wild Ol' Bill

McAllister ain't nowhere
When Windy leads the show
I've seen 'em both in harness
And so I sorta know —
Oh, Bill, I sha'n't forget ya,
And I'll oftentimes recall,
That lively gaited soiree —
"The Cowboys' Christmas Ball."
Oh, Bill, I sha'n't forget ya,
And I'll oftentimes recall,
That lively gaited soiree —
"The Cowboys' Christmas Ball."

Перевод песни:
Ковбойская Рождественская вечеринка

В глухом уголке Старой Невады,
Где несет свои воды река Траки, 1
Где крупный рогатый скот щиплет травку
И растут испанские пони,
Где северяне, насвистывая, появляются
Из-за нейтральной полосы земли,
И луговые собачки 2 чихают,
Как будто бы они подхватили грипп...... [открыть перевод]
