(Boo-bah-ooh, doo-doo-doo-dooooh, bah-doo)
I came down from Butte, Montana 
for a little change of scene
And I stopped a day in Santa Fe 
where I met a pretty queen

Oh, hair of gold, eyes of blue 
Lips like cherry wine
The prettiest gal I ever knew 
And I'm gonna make her mine
(I'll make her mine)

Planned to leave on Monday 
But she held me kind of tight
So I held the ground and hung around 
And I left on Friday night

Oh, hair of gold, eyes of blue 
Lips like cherry wine
The prettiest gal I ever knew 
And I'm gonna make her mine

(Boo-bah-ooh, doo-doo-doo-dooooh, bah-doo)
(He was kind o' blue and lonely)
(So he took his horse and pack)
(And on Sunday morn was up and gone)
(Headin' south and ridin' back)

(Oh, hair of gold, eyes of blue) 
(Lips like cherry wine)
(The prettiest gal that I ever knew) 
(And I'm gonna make her mine)

At the gate I found you waitin'
(I was happy as could be)
Then I told you that I loved you true
And you said that you loved me

Oh, hair of gold, eyes of blue 
Lips like cherry wine
The prettiest gal I ever knew 
And I'm gonna make her mine

So, the two of us were married
And the colours turned out right
Little Boy Blue and Goldilocks, too
It's sure a pretty sight

Oh, hair of gold, eyes of blue 
(Lips like cherry wine)
The prettiest gal I ever knew 
And I'm gonna make you mine
And I'm gonna make you mine
(Boo-bah-ooh, doo-doo-doo-doooooh.........FADE)
