Way out in Old Nevada, where the Truckee's waters flow
Jauh di Nevada Lama, di mana aliran air Truckee mengalir
Where the cattle are "a-browsing" and the Spanish ponies grow
Di mana sapi-sapi "menggembala" dan kuda Spanyol tumbuh
Where the Northers "come a-whistling" from beyond the Neutral Strip
Di mana angin utara "mendayu-dayu" dari balik Strip Netral
And the prairie dogs are sneezing, as if they had "The Grip"
Dan anjing prairi bersin, seolah-olah mereka terkena "flu"
Where the coyotes come a-howling around the ranches after dark
Di mana serigala melolong di sekitar peternakan setelah gelap
And the bluebirds are a-singing to the lovely "meadow lark"
Dan burung biru bernyanyi untuk "burung padang" yang cantik
Where the bighorns are a-grazing and the lonely plovers call —
Di mana domba besar merumput dan plover kesepian memanggil —
It was there that I attended "The Cowboys' Christmas Ball"
Di situlah aku menghadiri "Pesta Natal Para Koboi"
(Whoo!)
(Whoo!)

The boys had left the ranches and come to town in piles
Para pemuda telah meninggalkan peternakan dan datang ke kota berkelompok
The ladies — "kind of scattering" — had gathered in for miles
Para wanita — "agak menyebar" — telah berkumpul dari jarak jauh
The room was togged out gorgeous – with mistletoe and shawls
Ruangannya dihias indah – dengan mistletoe dan selendang
And candles flickered frescoes, around the airy walls
Dan lilin-lilin berkelap-kelip, menghiasi dinding yang lapang
The women folk looked lovely – the boys looked kinda treed
Para wanita tampak cantik – para pemuda tampak agak bingung
Till the leader got to yelling: "Hey, fellers, let's stampede!"
Sampai pemimpin mulai berteriak: "Hei, teman-teman, ayo kita huru-hara!"
And the music started sighing, and availing through the hall
Dan musik mulai berdentang, mengalun di seluruh aula
As a kind of introduction to "The Cowboys Christmas Ball"
Sebagai pengantar untuk "Pesta Natal Para Koboi"

Their leader was a feller that came from Swenson's ranch
Pemimpin mereka adalah seorang pria dari peternakan Swenson
They called him "Windy Billy," from "little Dead man's Branch"
Mereka memanggilnya "Billy Angin," dari "Cabang Manusia Mati Kecil"
His rig was "kinda careless," big spurs and high-heeled boots
Peralatannya "agak sembarangan," dengan sepatu paku besar dan sepatu hak tinggi
He had the reputation that come when "a fellers shoots"
Dia punya reputasi yang datang saat "seorang pria menembak"
His voice was like a bugle upon a mountainous height
Suara dia seperti terompet di ketinggian pegunungan
His feet were animated an' a mighty, moving sight
Kakinya bergerak lincah dan sangat menarik untuk dilihat
When he commenced to hollering, "Now, fellers stake your pen!"
Ketika dia mulai berteriak, "Sekarang, teman-teman, siapkan tempat kalian!"
"Lock horns with all them heifers, and Russel them like men
"Kunci tanduk dengan semua betina itu, dan hadapi mereka seperti pria
"Salute yer lovely critters; now swing and let them go
"Hormat pada makhluk cantik kalian; sekarang ayunkan dan lepaskan mereka
"Climb the grape vine around them — all hands do-ce-do!
"Panjatlah anggur di sekitar mereka — semua ikut berputar!
"You Mavericks, join the round-up – Just skip her waterfall"
"Kalian Mavericks, bergabunglah dalam pengumpulan – Ayo lewati air terjunnya"
Huh! It was getting happy, The Cowboys Christmas Ball
Huh! Suasana semakin meriah, Pesta Natal Para Koboi

Don't tell me about cotillions, or Germans, no sirree!
Jangan ceritakan padaku tentang kotilion, atau orang Jerman, tidak, terima kasih!
That whirl at Carson City just takes the cake with me
Kemeriahan di Carson City benar-benar membuatku terkesan
I'm sick of lazy shuffling's, of them I've had my fill
Aku sudah bosan dengan langkah malas, sudah cukup bagiku
Just Give me a frontier break-down, backed up by Wild Old Bill
Berikan aku keramaian perbatasan, didukung oleh Wild Old Bill

Mc Allister isn't nowhere, when Windy leads the show
Mc Allister tidak ada artinya, ketika Windy memimpin acara
I've seen them both in harness, and so I sorta know
Aku telah melihat mereka berdua bekerja sama, jadi aku sedikit tahu
Oh, Bill, I shall not forget you, and I'll oftentimes recall
Oh, Bill, aku takkan melupakanmu, dan aku sering mengingat
That lively gaited soiree — "The Cowboys Christmas Ball"
Pesta yang penuh semangat itu — "Pesta Natal Para Koboi"

Oh, Bill, I shall not forget you, and I'll oftentimes recall
