They's a movie come out a little while back 
'bout this so-called cowboy pair. 
Both was in love, but it weren't with a girl 
it was each with the other, I swear. 

Folks come to see that movie in droves, 
and some of 'em got into fights, 
which would start when a feller in a cowboy hat 
would punch out another boy's lights. 

In the movie, the lovers wore cowboy hats 
which led to a bit of confusion. 
When the dust had settled, a lotta good men 
went home with cuts and contusions. 

These fights all started as a di-rect result 
of them two sissy moral perverters. 
The story weren't even about two cowboys, 
them two misfits was sheepherders. 

Now, I got friends who are sheepherders, too. 
They're nothin' like them in the flick. 
They run into boys actin' like them two, 
they'll show 'em the gate real quick. 

A man ain't a cowboy because of 'is hat, 
regardless of what folks say. 
Pretenders  wear 'em to get the respect 
they can't get no other way. 

Whatever it's called, that movie's an insult 
to a time-honored manly profession. 
So cut some slack for the straight cowboy 
if he shows a little aggression. 

And if you see a man in a cowboy hat, 
take this, and keep it for reference. 
You better be careful makin' smart remarks 
about a cowboy's sexual preference.
