lyrics

Go and get your saddle
Your saddle with a rattle
You won’t need a paddle
You’re not going to Seattle
And the shadow of your hat’ll
Drive along the lazy cattle
In your saddle with a rattle
You’ll go rattling round the range

I went to see sweet Sue
With my hair all in a do
To ask if I could take her to the prom
I got up to her floor
And I knocked upon the door
I only got to speak to her mom
she said

Go and get a saddle
A saddle with a rattle
You won’t need a paddle
You’re not going to Seattle
And the shadow of your hat’ll
Drive along the lazy cattle
In your saddle with a rattle
You’ll go rattling round the range

I left her place confused
But soon found my pretty Suze
I hoped that I could get her mind to change
When I proposed to dance
She said there isn’t any chance
A cowgirl’s place is roaming on the range
For she’ll be

Riding on her saddle
Her saddle with a rattle
She won’t need a paddle
She’s not going to Seattle
And the shadow of her hat’ll
Drive along the lazy cattle
In her saddle with a rattle
She’ll go rattling round the range

Well I said
Who needs to dance?
The cows provide romance!
To be merry on the prairie we’ll arrange
So on my horse I’ll ride
With my cowgirl by my side
And together we’ll go rattling down the range
And we will

Go and get our saddles
Our saddles with the rattles
We don’t need no paddles
We’re not going to Seattles
And the shadows of our hat’lls
Drive along the lazy cattles
In our saddles with the rattles
We’ll go rattling round the range

Go and get your saddle yes your saddle with a rattle you don’t
Need a paddle though there’s lots of water in Seattle
In Seattle you can’t even see the shadow of your hat’ll cause
There’s never any sun it’s always raining in Seattle
Battle lazy cattle as you ride along astraddle
On your saddle with a rattle we don’t need no fiddle-faddle and you’ll
Saddle rattle battle cattle fiddle-faddle turkey wattle range

Go and get your saddle
Your saddle with a rattle
You won’t need a paddle
You’re not going to Seattle
And the shadow of your hat’ll
Drive along the lazy cattle
In your saddle with a rattle
You’ll go rattling round the range
Saddle with a rattle you’ll go rattling round the range
