  There's a young man that I know   just turned twenty one
Bm                            C       D
  Comes from down in southern   Colorado
G        G/F#     Em      C                 G
  Just out of the service   lookin' for his fun
        Am          D               G
Someday soon, goin' with him, someday soon

'n my parents they can't stand him 'cause he works the rodeos
Bm                                 C    D
  Daddy said that he will leave me   cryin' oh but
G         G/F#   Em             C                     G
  I would follow him right down   the roughest row to hoe

Someday soon, goin' with him, someday soon

Em                                A                D

  Blow, you old blue northern,   blow him back to me
Bm                           C         D
  He’s likely ridin' in from   California
   G         G/F#       Em       C                G
He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me

Someday soon, goin' with him, someday soon
