Thank you Sandy!!!! I've been trying to remember the verses to this song since reading Guest's question in FAQ. I learned the song from "Children's Guild" 78rpm records in the fifties. The version I learned has minor differences...I assume the tune is the same.
"All day on the prairie in the saddle I ride
Not even a dog boys, to trot by my side..." etc.
and in the 4th verse:
"And when my cooking's not very complete
You can't blame me for wanting to eat
Show me the man who can sleep more sound
Than a hard-riding cowboy who sleeps on the ground."
