By Hook or By Crook

lyrics

I was stuck in El Paso
when a horse snapped my lasso
and I traded my boots for the truth
and a room with a view.

With your heart on your sleeve,
well, I couldn't believe
that I'd come full circle to find you!

Twice a day the mayor would say
you look much happier since
you found your one true love.

Well, there's no disagreein',
she's constantly pleasin',
she's been making a home, not alone,
and I've hung my hat up.

By hook, by crook...
By hook, by crook...

At least once a night
I keep it mind
to thank the Lord that I found you.

Now the tumbleweed's gone
since I've been singing this song
and there's a fence needing paint 'fore it rains
so I best be pushin' on.

Find yourself a good woman
'cause there's no sense in lookin'
when it rains wooden nickels and all,
well, you'll both be cozy.

In the old saloon
there's our favorite needlepoint,
there's our favorite needlepoint,
it's the perfect sampler!
