Here's what I remember:

There's a man you've seen on the television screen
Who's the kind I'd like to be.
He can ride and shoot and he's plenty smart to boot
That's Hopalong Cassidy.

Now I am just a cowboy,
With neither aims nor goals
I need a man to lean upon
To teach me right from wrong.

I am full of pride when I'm riding by his side,
Or he spends some time with me
He will be my friend until the very end
That's Hopalong Cassidy
