So calm, so cool, so bare

Let her go, I said, let her go, may God bless her

But she'll never find a sweet man like Harry.

Now, when I die, I wanna be buried
In a box with a black coat and a stetson hat
I want a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain,
So all the boys would know I died standing pat.

Keep me Jesus, from all wrong
