Cowboy Dan lyrics

1. I LIVE UP NORTH OF MICHIGAN WHERE THE MIGHTY JACKPINES GROW
IN THE LAND OF THE PASTY WHERE STRANGERS SELDOM GO
Iā??M COWBOY DAN THE COWBOY MAN, I RIDE THE IRON RANGE
Iā??LL PLAY MY OLEā?? GUITAR AND SING FOR A DOLLAR AND SOME CHANGE

CHORUS:
ITā??S TOUGH TO BE A COWBOY UP HERE IN YOOPERLAND
CHASING COWS IN JANUARY WOULD KILL THE AVERAGE MAN
HEā??S ROUGH AND TOUGH AND READY
HEā??S A YOOPER BUCK-A-ROO
I LIVE ON BEANS AND BACON
AND LOTS OF SISU TOO


2. MY BEST FRIENDā??S A LOGGINā?? HORSE, HIS NAME IS STUMPY BILL
HE LOST HIS LEG TO A SNOWY SNAKE UP ON SUICIDE HILL
WE DRIVE COWS LIKE BEAGLE HOUNDS FROM HUMBOLDT TO SKANEE
CROSS THE RUGGED PIECE OF LAND THEY CALL THE OLE U.P.

BRIDGE:
HE ROAMS THE PLAINS AND DESERTS WITH THE COWPOKES WAY OUT WEST
WRANGLINā?? UP HERE IN YOOPERLAND IS WHAT HE LIKES THE BEST

3. ONE TIME OUT ON DA KEEWANEE ON A HOT NIGHT IN JULY
WE GOT CAUGHT IN A SNOW STORM THAT BURIED US ALIVE
WE LAID ā??ROUND FIVE MINUTES, THEN THE WEATHER CHANGED
IT WENT UP TO 97 OUT ON THE COPPER RANGE

(REPEAT CHORUS)
