Not long ago I saw a request for more Wilf Carter songs. Here's one of
three of Wilf's songs that are on our second DC, "Ranch Dressing":
CALGARY ROUNDUP
Wilf Carter (recorded ~1935) Key of (A)
We're a- (A) head-in' for the (A7) round-up, goin' (D) to the big stam- (A)
pede,
(F#m) Old Dick Cosgrove (B7) ri-din' in the (E7) lead.
The (A) old chuck wagon (A7) rat-tlin' - the (D) snort-in' buckin' (A)
broncs.
We're a-head-in' for the (E7) Cal-gary stam- (A) pede.
Get a-round the old chuck (A7) wag-on - and (D) get yourself some (A) grub.
(F#m) Flip those flapjacks (B7) o-ver in the (E7) pan.
(A) Old Jim Ross, the (A7) cook-ie - he sure can throw her up.
Well his chuck is good e- (E7) nough for any (A) man (A7)
Oh, we're a (D) jol-ly bunch of cow-boys - we (A) hope you are the same.
We (F#m) have no cares - the (B7) laws we never (E7) heed.
Oh, (A) gath-er in the (A7) cir-cle - and (D) sing this round-up (A) song,
We're a-head-in' for the (E7) Cal-gary stam-{A} pede.
(OPTIONAL YODEL)
The (A) buckin' broncs a- (A7) snortin' - and (C) cow-boys ridin' (A) high.
(F#m) Long-horns pawin' (B7) up the big (E7)cor-ral.
