I'm Gonna shine up my boots
I'm gonna go into town
I'm gonna scrape up 20 dollars
I'm gonna throw it around
I'm gonna buy me a dance
first lovely lady that I see
And when the dance is through
I'll say, will you marry me
I'm gonna shine up my boots
I'm gonna go into town
I'm gonna scrape up 20 dollars
I'm gonna throw it around
I'm gonna find me a game
Of hold 'em if I can
and fold 'em all night long
til I got me a hand
I'm gonna buy us a ranch
With a Palomino Herd
And I won't mean no harm
babe and I won't say a word
When misery comes to call
A gift to him, my life
I'll sit with him awhile
and share my horse, my hole, my wife
I'm gonna shine up my boots
I'm gonna go into town
I'm gonna scrape up 20 dollars
I'm gonna throw it around
I'm gonna buy me a dance
first lovely lady that i see
and when the dance is through
I'll say will you marry me
I'm gonna shine up my boots
I'm gonna go into town
I'm gonna scrape up 20 dollars
But I'll probably just drink it down
