My Boots Are Covered In Manure

Composer: Roger D. Linder
Performed by: Arthur Potsworth
The boss told me, “Bob,
If you’re keeping this job
You must go to the field
and bring in the cattle.”
I told him I would
Or at least that I could
If it wasn’t for one thing
keeping me out of the saddle.
It’s the lady I seek
I’ve only known her a week
She won’t look my way
But I’ll try again today
She told me for sure
It’s a curse I endure
For you see, these boots
are covered with manure
It’s the part I hate most
I would normally boast
But I’m a cowboy whose boots
are covered in manure.
My sweetie I’ve lost
And oh what a cost
She cannot see past
The smell that is cast
The boots, the boots
are covered in manure
The boots, the boots
are covered in manure
I’d quit in a flash
If I didn’t need the cash
My needs are so few
If I only could get her
The pay is OK
But for the rest of the day
It stinks, it stinks
And I know I’ll never get her
‘Cause these boots are covered,
so covered, they’re covered
In the stench of manure, from cattle and chickens.
Did I forget to tell you about the chickens?
