Ranger's Command

[Intro] Come all of you cowboys all over this land I'll sing you the law of the Ranger's command [Chorus] To hold a six-shooter and never to run As long as there's bullets in both of your guns [Verse] I met a fair maiden whose name I don't know I asked her to the round-up with me would she go She said she'd go with me to the cold round-up And drink that hard liquor from a cold bitter cup We started for the round-up in the fall of the year Expecting to get there, with a herd of fat steer When the rustlers broke on us, in the dead hour of night She rose from her warm bed, a battle to fight She rose from her warm bed with a gun in each hand Saying, "Come all you cowboys, and fight for your land." [Chorus]
