Came every day-ay

Ten ton caterpillar, loa-oading bay-ay

Ships bearin' gifts from Havana

She waved from the quay

As they slipped away-ay-ay

Cowboy's decree-ee

Tryin' to justify a place in history-y-y

Who's in that field full of crosses

Or Davey Jones' locker

In the deep blue sea-ea-ea



Ah-ah, she was the mother

Of a revolution of sor-orts

Ah-ah, she put a coin in the plate

For the Western wor-or-or-orld



She heard that man say-ay

Steppin' on the porch

Telegram to-oday-ay-ay

She tore at the apron she wore-ore

Tossing her dreams away-ay-ay



Ah-ah, she was the mother

Of a revolution of sor-orts

Ah-ah, she put a coin in the plate

For the Western wor-or-or-orld



Ah-ah, she was the mother

Of a revolution of sor-orts

Ah-ah, she put a coin in the plate

For the Western wor-or-or-orld



They came every day-ay

Ten ton caterpillar, loa-oading bay-ay-ay
