[00:00.00]The Cowboys' Christmas Ball - The Killers (杀手乐团)
[00:15.58]Way out in Old Nevada where the Truckee's waters flow
[00:19.88]Where the cattle are"a-browzin'" an' the Spanish ponies grow;
[00:24.20]Where the Northers"come a-whistlin'" from beyond the Neutral Strip;
[00:28.58]And the prairie dogs are sneezin' as if they had"The Grip";
[00:33.22]Where the coyotes come a-howlin' 'round the ranches after dark
[00:37.37]And the bluebirds are a-singin' to the lovely"meadow lark";
[00:41.75]Where the bighorns are a-grazin' and the lonely plovers call
[00:46.22]It was there that I attended"The Cowboys' Christmas Ball"
[00:50.06]
[00:50.88](whoo )
[00:51.18]
[00:59.91]The boys had left the ranches and come to town in piles;
[01:03.98]The ladies"kinda scatterin'" had gathered in for miles
[01:08.50]The room was togged out gorgeous - with mistletoe and shawls
[01:12.68]And candles flickered frescoes around the airy walls
[01:17.53]The women folk looked lovely - the boys looked kinda treed
[01:21.48]Till the leader got to yellin':"Hey fellers let's stampede"
[01:26.09]And the music started sighin' an' awailin' through the hall
[01:30.34]As a kind of introduction to"The Cowboys' Christmas Ball"
[01:43.73]Their leader was a feller that came from Swenson's ranch
[01:47.97]They called him"Windy Billy" from"little Deadman's Branch"
[01:52.33]His rig was"kinda careless" big spurs and high-heeled boots;
[01:56.63]He had the reputation that come when"a fellers shoots"
[02:01.38]His voice was like a bugle upon a mountainous height;
[02:05.69]His feet were animated an' a mighty movin' sight
[02:10.07]When he commenced to hollerin'"Now fellers stake your pen"
[02:14.43]"Lock horns with all them heifers an' russle 'em like men
[02:19.20]"Salute yer lovely critters; now swing an' let 'em go
[02:23.30]"Climb the grape vine 'round 'em all hands do-ce-do
[02:27.58]"You Mavericks join the round-up - Just skip her waterfall"
[02:31.91]Huh It was gettin' happy The Cowboys' Christmas Ball
[02:38.08]
[02:45.38]Don't tell me 'bout cotillions or Germans no sir'ee
[02:49.55]That whirl at Carson City just takes the cake with me
[02:54.04]I'm sick of lazy shufflin's of them I've had my fill
[02:58.40]Just Give me a frontier break-down backed up by Wild Ol' Bill
[03:02.93]McAllister ain't nowhere when Windy leads the show
[03:07.13]I've seen 'em both in harness and so I sorta know
[03:11.45]Oh Bill I sha'n't forget ya and I'll oftentimes recall
[03:15.98]That lively gaited soiree"The Cowboys' Christmas Ball"
[03:20.62]Oh Bill I sha'n't forget ya and I'll oftentimes recall
[03:24.81]That lively gaited soiree"The Cowboys' Christmas Ball
