Pat Riot Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 That song used to run through my head with the lyrics reversed when listening to some folks at cowboy action shoots when the stage instructions didn’t meet with their special requirements.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Heard a version at a street musical festival here a few years back. Three guys and one lady changed the words a bit: "Don't let your cowboys grow up to babies." I don't remember the rest but it got long and loud ovation. Busted the chops of every crybaby liberal puke in the crowd for blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I prefer Willie's version. He says, "don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such". You notice Waylon says, "let them be doctors and lawyers and such". Just makes more sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was stationed at Camp Lejune, there was a local band that used to sing, "Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be Jarheads, Don't let ‘em pick guitars and drive them old trucks. Let 'em be drunks and alcoholics like us". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Weird Al Yankovic made a career out of filking popular tunes of the time. This is a perfect medium for parody of the cupcakes and snowflakes we have today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
