Rocking Horse Cowboy,
Time to go to bed
Rocking Horse Cowboy,
Rest your weary head
You've been rid'n hard all day
Time for you to hit the hay

Some rustlers gave you trouble
When you were rid'n herd
But your six guns drove them all out of sight
So get on your pony,
Drive the strays back to the herd
And bed down your pinto for the night

Rockin horse cowboy,
Ride to slumberland
Dream a dream, cowboy,
Of the Rio Grande
You've been ridin hard all day
Time for you to hit the hay
