Every cowboy rides into camp
Weary and sore.
Upon the women's cooking he puts his stamp
And asks for more.

Every cowgirl sees her fellow
Winding down and getting mellow.
He might be tired, he might have wishes,
But nothing for him, just dirty dishes!

ADVENTURES, FORT or XP
Present and involved
Always applauded first
For a spoiled day
He'll sleep all night
Not at forts or duels
But with me at the HOTEL.

Lonely were the Men, chasing fortune and gold
to the Wild West Omen, as the stories were told
"If you strive hard and cope, cold rivers and dark mines
That yellow piece of hope, may in the dirt shine"

Many unlucky were, as Men drawn their sorrow
wandering everywhere, for some love to borrow
For all those who found, wife to love and cherish
Fortune to them are bound, until they both perish

I am from germany
and my english is not good.
I watch television
and I suffer with the women
with the mothers
with the daughters,
who lose their husbands, fathers, sons in the war.
Women, stay strong!

(I know, offtopic, without Wild West thematic, but importely)

original version in Romanian

Astazi in salon ii mare sabratoare,
Este sarbatorita femeia si bucuria ce o imparte,
Iat-o pe Maria ! frumoasa dansatoare,
Barmanul Henry vad ca o trage de o parte,
Oare ce-i spune la ureche Henry, Mariei, de ea zambeste,
La o alta masa seriful John priveste o fotografie,
Mai departe ii Waupee, ce bere si-o plateste,
Iar in dreapta mea este frumoasa Annie ( Annie Oakley ), ce pistolu-si mangaie.
Am iesit din salon si peste tot in oras vad femei si fete,
Sunt imbracate in haine de sarbatoare,
Care mai frumoasa, care mai cochete,
Iar in fata bisericii ii pastorul Cyrus Alexander, imparte fiecarei femei cate-o floare.
Galopandu-si calul, seriful W. Earp intra in oras grabit,
Se indreapta spre cioclu,
Probabil ii vorba despre Jesse James, care proaspat a fost ciuruit,
Ca se uita dupa femei, obsedat prin al lui binoclu.
Dar revenind la ceea ce vad in jurul meu,
As vrea sa le urez tuturor doamnelor un calduros La multi ani !
Si o sa merg sa ma rog pentru binele lor, la Dumnezeu,
Pentru ele sa ma daruiasca pe mine, iar mie mai multi bani...
La multi ani cowgirls, indience, mexicance, la multi ani tuturor femeilor !
Fara voi viata atat in West cat si in afara lui, ar fi pustie,
Multa sanatate domnisoarelor si doamnelor !
Fericire, iteme, produse, bani si nespus de multa bucurie !


variant translated into English

Today in the salon is a great saber,
The woman is celebrated and the joy she shares,
Here's Maria! beautiful dancer,
Bartender Henry I see pulling it aside,
What does Henry say to Maria's ear, she smiles at her,
At another table, Sheriff John looks at a photograph.
Next Waupee, what beer he pays for,
And to my right is the beautiful Annie (Annie Oakley), who guns her caress.
I left the salon and everywhere in the city I see women and girls,
They are dressed in holiday clothes,
Which is more beautiful, which is more chic,
And in front of the church, Pastor Cyrus Alexander distributes a flower to each woman.
Galloping his horse, Sheriff W. Earp hurried into town,
He's on his way,
Probably Jesse James, who was freshly screened,
That he was looking for women, obsessed with his binoculars.
But coming back to what I see around me,
I would like to wish all the ladies a warm Happy Birthday!
And I will go to pray for their good, to God,
For them to give me, and more money for me ...
Happy birthday cowgirls, indian women, mexican women, happy birthday to all women!
Without you, life in the West and beyond would be deserted.
Good health ladies !
Happiness, items, products, money and a lot of joy!

For many, baddest women are in the Wild West,
With gun, saber, whip or whatever the weapon.
Sometimes dirty, drunk, rude or nasty, even,
There is only one rule here : to live the fullest.

But what's so bad with that ? Men too, here, are like that !
We complete each other, and can go together
To the saloon, the wild nature or to the fort,
In a Wild West woman's arm, it is no effort.

There was a young lady of Keighley
Whose principle charms in her teeth lay.
When they fell on her plate
She called out, “I hate
Mithhaps of thith kind, they are plenthy
