The machine I'm on has no sound so I can't listen and transcribe. Click on the DLC underlined title and you'll be whisked away to a media player and I'd guess both melody and lyrics. |

DADDY'S LITTLE COWBOY Tim and Glenn Spencer, Sons of the Pioneers 1. Here comes daddy's little cowboy. Isn't he a sight? All dressed up in his western outfit, lookin' for a fight. He packs a great big six-gun pistol, one that really shoots. His spurs they jingle-jangle on his sho'-'nough cowboy boots. CHORUS: Daddy's little cowboy, the toughest of galoots, With his western hat, his six-gun gat and his sho'-'nough cowboy boots. 2. Here comes daddy's little cowboy, shootin' up the town. He's got the rustlers on the run. He's 'bout to mow 'em down. Before he goes to sleep tonight, he'll run 'em all upstairs, Then lock 'em up in his bedroom jail, and make 'em say their prayers. 3. Come on, daddy's little cowboy. Lay that pistol down. You shot up everything in sight. You've really mowed 'em down. You've got the rustlers all in jail, and now they'll have to pay, So come on, little buckaroo. It's time to hit the hay. Yeah, he's daddy's little cowboy, all tucked away in bed With his western hat, his six-gun gat, daddy's cowboy sleepyhead. |

Ken Curtis was a member of the Sons Of The Pioneers, as well as a big band singer way back when... Another member of the SOP was Shug Fisher, who also played bumbling roles on Gunsmoke... the Tag ending was omitted above. TAG: Yeah, he's Daddy's Little Cowboy, All tucked away in bed with his western hat, his six gun-gat Daddy's cowboy sleepy-head |

I got real excited about that and bought one in 1994. |

I was thrilled, so I threw it on the ol' turntable and it not only wouldn't play but it also thoroughly buggered up the small record, scratched the thing all to heck and gone and ruined the needle. Sheesh, ya know? |
