I've got this old cowboy hat br It's my favorite one to wear, br It's about the only thing I own br That I'm not willing to share; br Now to see it br May not turn your eye, br But, we've been through a heap together br This ol' hat and I; br We've fanned our share of hot summer days br Mighty dry and tough, br And held tight on many a cold winters night br More than just a bit frosty and rough; br We've rode through Panhandle sandstorms br And Rocky mountain blizzards, br Together we've swallowed 'nuff sand and sleet br To plug even Paul Bunyan's gizzard! br We've hazed the edge off buckin' broncs in Montana snow br And wild mustangs in the desert heat, br Still no matter if it's 100 above or 20 below br We'll stick it out and have 'em all beat. br br br We're a team br Me and this good old cowboy hat, br Throughout times soft or hard br Thin or fat, br We'll hang tough br And forever together stay, br Right on through br Our final earthly day. br br Now, when the time comes br Heavenward to go, br I sure hope the good Lord will understand me asking br To keep my ol' hat on..... beneath that shiny new halo.
