Subject: Lyr Req: Cowpoke Polka (Tim Spencer) From: GUEST,Iona Date: 03 Feb 12 - 07:08 PM This song is from the movie "Lights of old Santa Fe", and is sung in whole towards the beginning of the movie, and then in part during the medley at the end. here's the lyrics as I can make them out. Swing your partner to the right Swing her back and hold her tight Swing her far into the night That's the cowpoke polka Do-se-do and promenade To some other little maid Swing her once and then you trade That's the cowpoke polka One little bird and three red hens The bird hops out and the crow hops in Chicken in the bread pan, pickin' out dough The crow hops out and away you go Circle late and swing your part [this is the line I'm not sure of] Swing her easy, not to hard Rattle your spurs 'till you get tired [??] That's the cowpoke polka |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cowpoke Polka (Tim Spencer) From: GUEST Date: 04 Feb 12 - 12:38 AM Thanks, George! Your 'version' looks more correct than mine. :) I was going off of the one in the movie (hear it HERE). Thanks again! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cowpoke Polka (Tim Spencer) From: GUEST Date: 07 Apr 16 - 01:32 PM Suggested correction to the line "One little bird and three red hens" It is more likely "One little bird and three rail pen". If you google that line with quotes there are many results, including a site for Gabby Hayes: "http://www.gabbyhayes.org/gabby_in_movies/movies_with_roy/lights_of_old_sante_fe/lights_of_old_sante_fe.htm |
