I heard this song performed on Prairie Home Companion today and it brought back memories of when I used to sing it as a young buck. Here it is with a few tweaks:
Ennis' Song
There's a young man that I know
His age is the same as mine
He comes from up in Northern Wyoming
Just out of the (forest) service
And he's looking for his fun
Someday soon, going with him, someday soon.
My parents can not stand him
'Cause he rides the rodeo
My father says that he will leave me cryin'
I would follow him right up
The highest mountain I know
Someday soon, going with him, someday soon.
And when he comes to call, my wife ain't got a good word to say
Guess it's cause she was just as wild, in her younger days.
He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me,
Someday soon, going with him, someday soon.
