Subject: Lyr Add: GREAT JULY JONES (Cisco Houston) ^^
Well he took his pack from his big strong back, And he said "You lucky girls.
I'm here to stay for a year and a day, And I won't be shooting squirrels.
So step up now for a howdy-how, get favours while you can,
It's dynamite while I hug you tight, cause I'm a natural man.

Well, he grabbed a girl with a left-hand twirl, she looked so mighty cute,
But she had fight and used her right and floored him with a beaut.
Now you can't do that to six foot two, you're only five foot one,
He jumped a mile but she said with a smile, "You're a boasting son of a gun."

She stepped right up like a demitasse cup, and he looked into her eyes,
His heart went bang and her own heart sang, they stood there in surprise,
Well he scratched his head and he smiled and said, "Now you're the champ I guess.
And if you're free will you marry me?" and five foot two said, "Yes."

The only song I know that Cisco wrote although "Bad Man Blunder" is sometimes accredited to him but this is a reworking of "Bad Lee Brown"
