Private Buckaroo
Way out on a range that he's a stranger to
Dreams he hears the cattle lowin'
But it's just a bugle blowin'
True blue Private Buckaroo

There in Company Q
Away from corals and all the pals he knew
Won't be havin' any hand in 
This year's ropin', this year's brandin'
True blue Private Buckaroo

Each night beneath the evening star
He strums on his old guitar
Till it's get along, Buckaroo, you're in the Army

Private Buckaroo
That yippee-aye lad, he may sound sad and so blue
But there's nothin' he's afraid of
Got the stuff a cowhand's made of
True blue Private Buckaroo

So goodnight, your dreams will come true
They always do, Private Buckaroo
