Happy Birthday to ya, say your Saddle Pals to you
Happy Birthday to ya, it's your Birthday Buckaroo
Say a great big howdy to another year of life
Let's hope it's filled with happiness, no sorrow and no strife

So this year as you're riding on your pony on the range
Remember the strange song we sung
When your out on the trail, don't you weep don't you wail
'Cause your only one more year young.

Happy Birthday to ya, say your Saddle Pals to you
Happy Birthday to ya, it's your Birthday Buckaroo
Don't be shy when friends drop by with gifts on Birthday morn'
You gave us all a better gift the day that you were born.

So this year as you're ropin' up the cattle on the range
Remember the strange song we sung
When your out on the trail, don't you weep don't you wail
'Cause your only one more year young.

Happy Birthday to ya, say your Saddle Pals to you
Happy Birthday to ya, it's your Birthday Buckaroo
Though you're one year older now and closer to the grave
You're also one year wiser, you should be that much more brave.

So this year as you're roundin' up the dogies on the range
Remember the strange song we sung
When your out on the trail, don't you weep don't you wail
'Cause your only one more year young.

And may your Birthdays have only begun.
