"Git up on thus Suthern Nag's back
if yuh think yer a cowboy, Jack."
Jack rasied hiz jug and took a sup,
to git hiz liguid courage up,
"Yah dang tootin', I'll take yuh dare,"
said Jack, swangin' his hat in thuh air.
"Best dang cowboy wuz ever born,"
he boisted as he grasped thuh horn.
Ol' Nag jest gave a sheepish smile
and kicked Ol' Jack fer a mile.
"Did yuh arthritic knees buckle?"
Suthern Nag asked, with a chuckle.
Jack rubbed hiz sacariliac,
and then he headed right on back.
He kicked her with hiz redneck spur,
better known as a cuckleburr.
Ol' Nag give him another buck,
and threw him 'cross hiz pickup truck.
Yuh could smell ol' jack fer a mile,
crawlin' outta that big cowpile.
"Yuh culdn't ride a crippled calf,"
she taunted, with a snort and laugh.
Jack shook the cobwebs from his head,
and with a big ol grin, he said,
"I'll ride yuh 'fore the risin' sun,
'cuz this cowboy won't be out done."
"Yuh' can't ride thus hoss from thuh south,
and that comes straight from thuh nag's mouth
Jack never wuz all that smart,
but he had a whole lotta heart.
Jack raised his jug and took a swig,
and climbed back on that ol' greased pig.
(Lol Ok here's your translation}
Get up on this southern horse's back
if you think your a cowboy,Jack
Jack raised his jug and took a drink { meaning his whiskey jug}
to get his liguid courage up{ he had to get totally intoxicated to have enough nerve to ride}
You damn right, I will take your dare ( Dang-tootin' is better than cursing isn't it}
said Jack, swinging his hat in the air.
Best damn cowboy was ever born,
he bragged as he grasp the horn. {saddle horn}
Old nag, just gave a sheepish smile
and kicked him for a mile
Did your arthritic knees buckle( meaning did your old knees give way underneath you]
Southern nag(horse) asked with a chuckle(laugh)
Jacked rubbed his sacariliac( rearend, butt}
and then headed right on back.
He kicked her with his redneck spur
better known as a cocklebur ( cock·le·bur
: any of a genus (Xanthium) of prickly-fruited composite plants; also : one of its stiff-spined fruits} We just pronounce it different with a u instead of an o, and spell it with two rrs at the end because southerners tend to drag out certian letters in words.
Old nag gave him another buck= (like a bucking bronco}
and threw him across his pickup truck.
You could smell old jack for a mile,
crawling out of the cowpile. (Cowpile= pile of cow manure.}
You could not ride a crippled calf
she taunted with a snort and laugh ( the horse is laughing at him.}
Jack shook the cobwebs from his head. (Meaning he was dazed from a combination of whiskey and the fall.}
and with a big old grin he said.
I will ride you before the rising son,
because this cowboy won't be out done. { meaning he was not about to give up and let her win. He was determined.}
You can't ride this horse from the south,
that comes straight from this horse's mouth.( the horse is talking to Jack}
Jack never was all that smart,
but he had a whole lot of heart. { meaning he had more courage than sense.}
Jack raised his jug and took a swig.{ He took a big drink of his whiskey.}
and climbed back on that old greased pig.(The last line is the twist, Jack was so drunk he thought he was riding a talking, bucking, horse, and he was really riding a greased pig.}
