Don't Let My Spurs Get Rusty While I'm Gone

Performed by Carson Robison
Recorded April 1942
Written by Carson Robison

Dont let my spurs get rusty while I'm gone
Dont let my spurs get rusty while I'm gone
I'll be wearin' those spurs once more
Just as soon as I win this war
Dont let my spurs get rusty while I'm gone
Don't let my boots get dusty when I'm gone
Don't let my boots get dusty when I'm gone
I'm leavin' two bits behind
So you can keep 'em shined
Don't let my boots get dusty when I'm gone
Don't let my girl forget me while I'm gone
Don't let my girl forget me while I'm gone
I'm gonna learn how to write
Send a postcard every night
Don't let my girl forget me while I'm gone
I've got to learn to yodle when I'm gone
I've got to learn to yodle when I'm gone
A Cowboy nowadays
Learns to yodle 'cause it pays
I've got to learn to yodle when I'm gone
Oh I gotta learn to yodle when I'm gone

I think I'll grow a mustache while I'm gone
I think I'll grow a mustache while I'm gone
When I get back again
It'll tickle my sweetie's chin
So I think I'll grow a mustache while I'm gone
I'll carry my old mouth organ while I'm gone
I'll carry my old mouth organ while I'm gone
When I get feelin' blue
I'll play me a tune or two
I'll carry my old mouth organ while I'm gone
Don't let my horse get spooky while I'm gone
Don't let my horse get spooky while I'm gone
He'll get so mean and cross
I'll haveta show him who's the boss
Don't let my horse get spooky while I'm gone
And don'tcha worry about me while I'm gone
Don't you worry about me while I'm gone
'Cause I'll be back someday
Whistlin' on my way
So don't you worry about me while I'm gone
