Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHDHIJKJ LMNMDOKO| We used to run a cow ranch | A |
| In all that old term meant | B |
| But all our ancient glories | C |
| In recent years have went | B |
| We're takin' summer boarders | D |
| And puttin' it quite rude | E |
| It's now the cowboy's province | F |
| To herd the festive dude | E |

| We used to run an outfit | G |
| The greatest in the West | H |
| Our cowboys were the wonders | D |
| Our roundups were the best | H |
| The punchers still are with us | I |
| But now they merely guide | J |
| The tenderfoot from Boston | K |
| Who's learnin' how to ride | J |
| - | |
| We used to brand our cattle | L |
| And ship 'em wide and far | M |
| But now we import humans | N |
| From off the Pullman car | M |
| The dudes have got us captures | D |
| And tied and branded too | O |
| And the cowboy's readin' Ibsen | K |
| When his daily toil is through | O |
