Ten Boots (Stompin’) Songtext
von Dangerous Toys

Ten boots, a-battered and a-beaten
Holes in our soles where the desert has eaten
But they′re holdin' out and they′re so easy fittin'
Just a few holes where the rattlesnakes have bitten

They ain't too fancy and they′re just a little dirty
But they mean a lot to us, we think they′re awful purty
We wear 'em all the time from morning to night
If you wanna take ′em from us then you're in for a fight

No, we wouldn′t trade for whiskey or a lover
They've taken us further than either of the other
And when we′re gone, we won't be a-carin'
Six feet under, you know what we′ll be wearin′, wearin'

They ain′t too fancy and they're just a little dirty
But they mean a lot to us, we think they′re awful purty
We wear 'em all the time from morning to night
If you wanna take ′em from us then you're in for a fight


Ten boots, a-rollin' and a-rompin′
Ten boots, a-stompin′ and a-kickin' up
A cloud of dust, a mighty hi-ho silver
Ten boots, ten boots ain′t stoppin', no

My boots an′ me, oh, we're a-never knowin′
From day to day just where we'll be a-goin'
Down a dusty road, or a-ridin′ on a rail
Lovin′ or a-fightin', they′ll never fail me

Ten boots, a-rollin' and a-rompin′
Ten boots, a-stompin' and a-kickin′ up
A cloud of dust, a mighty hi-ho silver
Ten boots, ten boots ain't stoppin', ain′t stoppin′
Ain't no, we ain′t gonna stop, we gonna kick you into hell

Ten boots, a-rollin' and a-rompin′
Ten boots, a-stompin' and a-kickin′ up
A cloud of dust, a mighty hi-ho silver
Ten boots, ten boots ain't stoppin', ain′t stoppin′
Ain't no, we ain′t gonna stop, kick you into hell, once again
Ten boots, yeah
