- I've traveled the mountains all over,
And now to the valleys I'll go,
And live like a pig in the clover,
In sight of huge mountians of snow.
In sight of huge mountians of snow,
In sight of huge mountians of snow
And live like a pig in the clover,
In sight of huge mountians of snow.
- I'll marry a rich Senorita, And live on a ranch in the west;
Have forty young greasers to greet her,
And fifty, if put to a test.
And fifty, if put to a test,
And fifty, if put to a test
Have forty young greasers to greet her,
And fifty, if put to a test.
- I'll wear a "right pee-rt" standing collar,
And smoke cigaritos, of course;
And when I run short of a dollar,
I'll try and obtain a divorce.
I'll try and obtain a divorce,
I'll try and obtain a divorce
And when I run short of a dollar,
I'll try and obtain a divorce.
- I'm greatly in favor of mining,
With me, though, it does not agree;
I'd rather be gently reclining,
With Beauty, upon a settee.
With Beauty, upon a settee,
With Beauty, upon a settee,
I'd rather be gently reclining,
With Beauty, upon a settee.
- I'm not much in favor of thieving,
At all events, just as I feel;
But never will work for a living,
So long as I'm able to steal.
So long as I'm able to steal,
So long as I'm able to steal
I never will work for a living,
So long as I'm able to steal.
