Cowboy Dan Lyrics

Cowboy Dan lyrics

1. I LIVE UP NORTH OF MICHIGAN WHERE THE MIGHTY JACKPINES GROW 

IN THE LAND OF THE PASTY WHERE STRANGERS SELDOM GO 

I’M COWBOY DAN THE COWBOY MAN, I RIDE THE IRON RANGE 

I’LL PLAY MY OLE’ GUITAR AND SING FOR A DOLLAR AND SOME CHANGE 

  

CHORUS: 

IT’S TOUGH TO BE A COWBOY UP HERE IN YOOPERLAND 

CHASING COWS IN JANUARY WOULD KILL THE AVERAGE MAN  

HE’S ROUGH AND TOUGH AND READY 

HE’S A YOOPER BUCK-A-ROO 

I LIVE ON BEANS AND BACON 

AND LOTS OF SISU TOO 

  



2. MY BEST FRIEND’S A LOGGIN’ HORSE, HIS NAME IS STUMPY BILL 

HE LOST HIS LEG TO A SNOWY SNAKE UP ON SUICIDE HILL 

WE DRIVE COWS LIKE BEAGLE HOUNDS FROM HUMBOLDT TO SKANEE 

CROSS THE RUGGED PIECE OF LAND THEY CALL THE OLE U.P. 



BRIDGE: 

HE ROAMS THE PLAINS AND DESERTS WITH THE COWPOKES WAY OUT WEST 

WRANGLIN’ UP HERE IN YOOPERLAND IS WHAT HE LIKES THE BEST 



3. ONE TIME OUT ON DA KEEWANEE ON A HOT NIGHT IN JULY 

WE GOT CAUGHT IN A SNOW STORM THAT BURIED US ALIVE 

WE LAID ‘ROUND FIVE MINUTES, THEN THE WEATHER CHANGED 

IT WENT UP TO 97 OUT ON THE COPPER RANGE 



(REPEAT CHORUS)
