Prague Waltzes, B.99 - Antal Doráti & Detroit Symphony Orchestra

East of beautiful Alberta North of old Montan' The livings fine, when the springtime's kind To a bovine raisin' man Well, they sort 'em, and stretch 'em, and tail 'em down Like they did in days gone by Good slab fence and common sense Well, there're in short supply The iron still hits the fire Rope's thrown straight and true And they scorch their hides, 'till upon their sides The brand is showing through And the spring time turns with the Coulee's curve And it's summer once again Whoopee-ti-yi-yo, at the rodeo And we pray our buddies win It's Western swing and waltzes Like to wear out your boots And it's horsehair floors and Louis L'Amour After they close the chutes When they've rode up all the rank ones And the chucks are out of sight It's Western swing and waltzes In Saskatchewan tonight It's Western swing and waltzes Like to wear out your boots And it's horsehair floors and Louis L'Amour After they close the chutes When they've rode up all the rank ones And the chucks are out of sight It's Western swing and waltzes In Saskatchewan tonight It's Western swing and waltzes In Saskatchewan tonight

I'm writing a song all about you A true song as real as my tears But you've no need to fear it 'Cause no one will hear it 'Cause sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year I'll tell all about how you cheated I'd like for the whole world to hear I'd like to get even with you 'cause you're leavin' But sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year It's a good thing that I'm not a star You don't know how lucky you are And though my record may say it, no one will play it 'Cause sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year Well, it's a good thing that I'm not a star You don't know how lucky you are And though my record may say it, no one will play it Cause sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year Sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year
