[Verse 1]
I was ridin' my horse 'cross the pasture
I jerked my catch twine down
I seen a cow and a sticker in her eye
And I bedded that ol' hide down
I bedded that ol' hide down
My horse, he knew his business
And he held the rope just right
My dog, he's circling 'round and 'round
As I pulled that sticker from her eye
Boy get back, I'm pulling a sticker from her eye, you booger
[Verse 2]
I noticed that she had a tight bag
Her calf, nowhere to be found
I told my dog, "If you want something to do
Go find her calf, bring him back 'round
Go find her calf, boy, and bring him back 'round"
He darted over the hillside
And he went plum out of sight
When I looked up he was bringing back a calf
Put that calf by his momma's side
Go put that calf right by his momma's side
[Verse 3]
Well he'd been gone all night
Maybe for more than a day
So he got himself a belly full of milk
Put that calf and his momma on their way
Oh, put that calf and his momma on their way
This day in the life of a cowboy
While that old darn world's spinning 'round
Me and my dog made a happy reunion
When we bedded that old hide down
When we bedded that old hide down
