Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Ruptured Cowboy' Traditional Bawdy Song
[singing] I am a ruptured cowboy
I have the gonorrhea
I got it from Maria
She gave it to me free-a
And now I can not pea-a

I have the syph and the blueballs
I have clap on my two balls...

[spoken] And the rest I don't know. There is another couplet and it eludes me. The last line may have rhymed "ointment" and "disappointment". But I don't remember. It's to the tune of El Rancho Grande.
