1.
His name is Smilin’ Jack, The Droolin’ Cowboy
That’s how the lad was introduced to me
The apple of his mother’s eye, his daddy’s pride and joy
Just a happy little buckaroo, a bouncin’ baby boy

CHORUS:

Ride-on you droolin’ cowboy
It’s time for dad to take you off to bed
Ride-on you droolin’ cowboy
With dreams about tomorrow dancin’ in your head 

2.
Now some folks say that bein’ ambidextrous
Means droolin’ outta both sides of yer mouth
Well Smilin’ Jack was the slobber-king of Texas
His face would get to grinnin’ and it all came runnin’ out

CHORUS

3.
Like any kind of self respectin’ cowboy
The saddle was Jack’s favorite place to be
Way up on daddy’s shoulders with his head up in the sky
The whole world out in front of him, as far as he could see 

CHORUS
