Oct 23rd 1945 New York


All the cowhands wanna marry Harriet,
Harriet's handy with a lariat,
But she don't want to marry yet,
She's havin' too much fun!

With a lasso she can throw a buffalo,
Any old bronco in the rodeo;
She can round up any Romeo
Without a rope or a gun!

On her verandah,
What a line they hand her!
But she keeps those wolves away,
Shoutin', "Yippee-ki-oh-ki-ay!".

All the cowhands wanna marry Harriet,
Harriet's handy with a lariat,
But she don't want to marry yet,
She's havin' too much fun!

On her verandah,
What a line they hand her!
But she keeps those wolves away,
Shoutin', "Yippee-ki-oh-ki-ay!".

All the cowhands wanna marry Harriet,
Harriet's handy with a lariat,
But she don't want to marry yet,
She's havin' too much fun!
