WOODY GUTHRIE - THE RANGER'S COMMAND

   Words and Music by Woody Guthrie

Verse 1:
    G+G               C majorC
Come all of you cowboys all over this land
    D7D7               G+G
I'll sing you the law of the Ranger's command
  G+G                C majorC
To hold a six-shooter and never to run
   D7D7                   G+G
As long as there's bullets in both of your guns

Verse 2:
G+G                   C majorC
I met a fair maiden whose name I don't know
 D7D7                     G+G
I asked her to the round up with me would she go
G+G                    C majorC
She said she'd go with me to the cold round-up
  D7D7                     G+G
And drink that hard liquor from a cold bitter cup

Verse 3:
G+G                 C majorC
We started for the round up in the fall of the year
D7D7                   G+G
Expecting to get there, with a herd of fat steer
G+G                   C majorC
When the rustlers broke on us, in the dead hour of night
  D7D7                  G+G
She rose from her warm bed, a battle to fight

Verse 4:
G+G                 C majorC
She rose from her warm bed with a gun in each hand
   D7D7                      G+G
Saying, "Come all you cowboys, and fight for your land"
G+G              C majorC
Come all of you cowboys, and don't ever run
  D7D7                   G+G
As long as there's bullets in both of your guns
