Cowboy named Tony
cowgirl named Mona
Cowgirl got jealous of her cowboy
way out west in Arizona,
He got flirting
with an Indian squaw
his rival told ev'rything he saw,
She took a rifle
swore he shouldn't trifle
with her any more.
It was morning on the prairie
that she caught him all unwary
when he wheeled around
she shot him down
and this is how
she told it round the town.

This first shot (blooie)
Missed him by a nose
and the next shot (bang)
tore right through his clothes
When he saw I meant it
and was mad as sin
he started 'cross the prairie
like a gale of win'
but the fourth shot (bing!)
grazed him on the cheek
and the fifth shot (boom!)
scared him for a week
but the last shot got him,
that friend of mine
right between his breakfast
and his dinner time.

like a gale of win'
but the fourth shot (bing!)
grazed him on the cheek
and the fifth shot (boom!)
scared him for a week
but the last shot got him,
that afternoon
right between his pantry
and his dining room.

This cowboy Tony
sure was no phoney
swore he'd get even
with the man
that spoiled his plans of matrimony.
sent a message to his rival Dan:
"We'll court the gal on the Wild West plan
bring along your gun sir
you've got to fight or run sir
for the lady's han'
ev'ry rancher bet his pony
that the winner would be Tony
and they're telling yet
how they won their bet
when Mona's Tony and his rival met.
