Ten Boots (Stompin')

Ten boots, a-battered and a-beaten

Holes in our soles where the desert has eaten

But they're holdin' out an they're so easy fittin'

Just a few holes where the rattlesnakes have bitten

1st Chorus:

They ain't to fancy and they're just a little dirty

But they mean a lot to us, we think they're awful purty

We wear'em all the time, from morning to night

If you wanna take 'em from us, then you're in for a fight

We wouldn't trade for whiskey or a lover

They've taken us further than either of the other

And when we're gone, we won't be a-carin'

Six feet under, you know what we'll be wearin'

1st Chorus

2nd Chorus:

Ten boots, a-rollin and a-rompin'

Ten boots, a-stompin' and a-kickin'up

A cloud of dust, a mighty hi-ho silver

Ten boots, a-ten boots ain't stoppin'

My boots an' me, oh, we're a-never knowin'

From day to day just where we'll be a-goin'

Down a dusty road, or a-ridin on a rail

Lovin' or a-fightin', they'll never fail me

Yah ho huh

2nd Chorus
