(A) Let's have a (A7) hand for that young (D) cowboy
And wish him better luck next (A) time.
I hope we'll see him up in (E7) Fargo
Or somewhere farther down the (A) line (A7)
This time he sure drew a (D) bad one
One that nobody could (A) ride
By the way he pulled his (E7) hat on

And it don't take much to pre- (E7) dict, son
The way it always (A) goes (A7)
'Cause one day she says she (D) loves you (GD)
And the next she'll be tired (A) of you

And wish him better luck next (A) time
I hope we'll see him up in (E7) Fargo
Or somewhere  farther down the (A) line
