G Em C G
There a young man that I know, just turned twenty-one,
Bm C D
Comes from down in southern Colorado,
G Em C G
Just out of the service and looking for his fun.
Am7 D G
Someday soon going with him, some day soon.
G Bm Em C G
My parents cannot stand him 'cause he works the rodeo.
Bm Em C D
They say, "He's not your kind, he'll leave you crying."
G Bm Em C G
If he asks I'd follow him down the toughest row to hoe.
Am7 D G C G
Someday soon going with him, some day soon.
D C G
When he visits me, my pa ain't got one good word to say.
Em Am7 A7 D D7
Got a hunch he was as wild back in the early days.
G Bm Em C G
So blow, you old blue norther, blow him back to me.
Bm Em C D
He likely driving back from California,
G Bm Em C G
Loves his damned old rodeos as much as he loves me,
Am7 D D7 G
Someday soon going with him, some day soon.
