Ranger's Command Lyrics - Joan Baez

Come all of you cowboys all over this land 

I'll sing you the law of the Ranger's command. 

To hold a six-shooter and never to run 

As long as there's bullets in both of your guns. 

I met a fair maiden whose name I don't know 

I asked her to the round-up with me would she go. 

She said she'd go with me to the cold round-up 

And drink that hard liquor from a cold bitter cup. 

We started for the round-up in the fall of the year 

Expecting to get there with a herd of fat steer. 

When the rustlers broke on us in the dead hour of night 

She rose from her warm bed a battle to fight. 

She rose from her warm bed with a gun in each hand 

Saying, "Come all you cowboys, and fight for your land."
