Aagghh! let the ladies split out wide

Grab your pardner - go hog wild. aagghh! now, now, now;



Chorus

[g] big ball's in [g7] cowtown

[c] we'll all go [g] down

[g] big ball's in [g7] cowtown

[d] we'll dance a-[g] round.



[g] workin' on the [g7] railroad

[c] sleepin' on the [g] ground

Eatin' saltine [g7] crackers

Put on your new shoes

Put on your gown

Take off them sack clothes

The big ball's in town.

I'll stay in cowtown

I'll stick around

Bolt up your window

The big ball's in town.
