I found it through the Oscar Brand version: This cowboy told me before he died and I got no reason to think he lied Though he tried for the most his life He never could satisfy his wife. (Chorus) (c)Round and round went the great big wheel (c)in and out went the rod of steel. (c)I'll lay you money on a sure fire bet (c)that the great big wheeeeeel is a' turnin' yet! so he mounted him up a great big wheel and there upon a rod of steel two brass chambers a' filled with cream and the whole damn thing was a' run by steam. Chorus Well he rolled it in through the bedroom door and the wheel started up with a great big roar. It rolled to his wife and it rolled on top And it pumped and steamed 'till she hollered stop! Chorus But the monstrous wheel just rolled on through till the cowboy's wife, she was split in two. As if possessed of a monstrous whim it turned around and it mounted him. Chorus Then it rolled to the gate and it steamed real fast mountin' folks just strollin' past. It covered them over with grease and cream and it disappeared in a cloud of steam. Chorus So if someday you should see a wheel with two brass balls and a rod of steel. run for the prairie or over the hill unless you're lookin' fer a long time thrill Oh! round and round went the great big wheel in and out went the rod of steel I'll lay you money on a sure fire bet that the great big wheeeeeeeel is a turnin' yeeeeeet!
