Henry Mancini
Intro
A B D B
He sleeps out there, out where the coyotes wail,
D A E B
The reason he ain't at the bar with the boys,
B E B D A C#
Makes quite a dismal tale ...
Chorus 1
A C D E A
He shouldn't-a, hadn't-a, oughtn't-a swang on me,
A C D E B
He oughtn't-a, shouldn't-a, hadn't-a, no siree.

You don't get many callers,

Sleeping on the lone prairie.

Verse 1
A
Way out West we're wild and wooly,
A
In order to explain it fully:
C D C D
We're tall grown, all grown,
A
All the men are hairy-chested,
A
And all the women, double-breasted.
A
We're lady-like until molested,
B D E
And then we're on our own!

A C D E A
He shouldn't-a, hadn't-a, oughtn't-a swang on me,

His wife gets the insurance,

Verse 2
A
This here job is mighty tryin',
A
Sometimes the room is fairly flyin' with

High-balls, eye-balls.

One got killed, somebody got 'im,

Tore up the joint from top to bottom.

As near as I recall.

He shouldn't-a, hadn't-a, oughtn't-a swang on me,

Verse 3
A
All you boys remember Harry,
A
The wrangler I was set to marry,
C D C D
A long man, strong man.

One night he yells, "I'm from Texas!"

And socks me in my solar plexus.
A
Well having normal, good reflexes,
B D E
I knocked him on his can!

He shouldn't-a, hadn't-a, oughtn't-a blacked my eye,
E B D F C
I'm really a lovable, peaceable kind of guy.

I wouldn't scare a rabbit, and I couldn't harm a flea,
B D E F# B
But he shouldn't-a, hadn't-a, oughtn't-a swang on me.

The motto of our town!
