The New Christy Minstrels - Denver lyrics

(And now, ladies and gentlemen, the Troubadour takes great pride in presenting Randy Sparks and his New Christy Minstrels!) Ha! Come on, big mule! I was drivin' a rig outta Texas All loaded an' bound for Cheyenne Takin' my pleasures so freely Just a good lovin' ramblin' man I had quite a way with the ladies "Sweet Daddy" was my middle name Till I got to a place they called Denver And I ain't never been quite the same Ha! I've been to Saint Louis and Abilene I've rambled through many a town But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord That's where I'm settlin' down Well, I kissed her an' swore that I loved her I told her some day she'd be mine And then I laughed all the way back to Texas Hah-hah, to think she'd believe that ol' line Well, I got to pinin' for Denver It's funny how things come to be As I slipped the ring on her finger Well, I knew that the laugh was on me Ha! I've been to Saint Louis and Abilene I've rambled through many a town But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord That's where I'm settlin' down Now all you young fellas take warnin' You single men, run for your life Be careful an' stay out o' Denver Or else you'll wind up with a wife You'll walk down the street unsuspectin' And you won't believe what you see 'Cause the prettiest gals live in Denver Lord, you'll wind up happy, like me Ha! I've been to Saint Louis and Abilene I've rambled through many a town But I got me a woman in Denver, Lord That's where I'm settlin' down Come on, big mule! Got me a woman in Denver, Lord That's where I'm settlin' down Ha!
