C                                  F                 C
A bunch of jolly cowboys, when the roundup days were done
    F                 C                 D             G
De- -cided they would head for town and have a little fun
   C                                      F                 C
As they rode gaily down the trail I could hear the old cook say
     F                   C                  G                 C
I?ll hang the key on the bunkhouse door and boys don?t you be late

Chorus
F                                                           C
Hang the key on the bunkhouse door ?cause we?ll be late to- -night
                                                      G
Don?t leave the light a-burnin? dear, we may not look right
    C                  F                C               G
The trail is long, the goin?s tough and someone may get tight
   F                   C                     G                 C
So hang the key on the bunkhouse door ?cause we?ll be late to- -night

C                                   F                  C
Those city gals are lots of fun but they can?t see our ways
F                      C                     D              G
Swing them through the old square dance they call us ornery strays
    C                                       F                 C
All dressed in chaps and jeans and spurs we sang with all our might
F                   C                     G                 C
Hang the key on the bunkhouse door ?cause we?ll be late to- -night
