Well, they tell me cold West Texas, is out where the West begin
Well, they tell me cold West Texas, is out where the West begin
Says, I ain't no cow puncher, but I'll tie-line any man

Says, I don't wear no ten-gallon hat, I don't wear no spurs on my heels
Says, I don't wear no ten-gallon hat, says I don't wear no spurs on my heels
But when I get in the saddle and ride, all the women says I rides with a thrill

Says, I don't know how to rope a cow, and ain't never branded a steer
Says, I don't know how to rope a cow, and ain't never branded a steer
But I leave my brand, whenever I shift my gear

Don't know how to ride a buckin' horse, never rode in a rodeo
Well, I don't know how to ride a buckin' horse, never rode in a rodeo
But when I start to ridin', I rides it like a cowboy in a moving picture show

Well, if you don't b'lieve I can ride, ask all the womens down on Baptist Hill
Well, if you don't b'lieve I can ride, ask all the womens down on Baptist Hill
Because when they see me comin', they all holler, "Here come Ridin' Bill."
