Code of the West The Old West didn't have many written-down laws Most were gen'ral suggestions But honest men followed a code Obeyed it without askin' questions Never steal another man's horse or especially his gal Even if either is willin' 'Cos the end of that tale is you'll end up in gaol And the second outcome's hardly more thrillin' Hold a drink in your gun hand to show your friendly intentions And any cowboy you've shot it's prob'ly best not to mention I've been a drifter a drover a wrangler and a gambler Played all games of chance includin' romance If you're tryin' your best you're likely obeyin' The Co-oh-oh-de the code of the West Please take off your gun when you're plannin' to eat at a table Before feedin' yourself settle your horse in the stable Never try on another man's hat or indulge in fanciful braggin' Most of all don't stir up no dust sitting 'round the chuckwagon I've been a drifter a drover a wrangler and a gambler Played all games of chance includin' romance If you're tryin' your best you're likely obeyin' The Co-oh-oh-de the code of the West It was sometimes real lonesome on the early frontier Just a bedroll for warmth no-one there to share your beer Nights on the prairie could quickly grow cold When a lonely young cowboy had no one to hold Cowboys got two theories 'bout feudin' with women One is real bad the other will never be forgiven Always say "Howdy" when you pass a galoot on the trail Cos politeness costs nuthin and one day he might settle your bail I've been a drifter a drover a wrangler and a gambler Played all games of chance includin' romance If you're tryin' your best you're likely obeyin' The Co-oh-oh-de the code of the West Unwritten laws weren't that hard to obey And many old-timers couldn't read much anyway That was the code of the West
