I see the western skies a paler through the trees

A fine misted lady takes a petticoat break

Into the cold river she dares to freeze

Her shivering eyes into my soul do stake

Come, she beckons, the water's fine

Ignore the cinnamon rusty hue

Cross that cowboy gentleman line

I want to skinny dance with you

Hesitant I stand at the lapping shore

I'm supposed to guard the captain's miss

Not charge into the river and pore

A heart of mine into the preacher's sis

Mesmerized by her beckoning hand

I start to unbutton my studded shirt

She says she is the promised land

And next to go is my belt from Gert

She looks in awe at my magnificent chest

Oh Randolph she gasps hurry it up

Come get me while I'm at my best

Soon the others will be here to sup

Before the fly could be unmast

I heard the sounds of Captain's crew

Coming with game caught for tonight's repast

Laughing, carousing to start a merry stew

Clothes adjusted, dreams foregone

Randolph Scott puts his shirt back on.
