On a snow covered night up in eastern Wyoming
Another lazy day looking for the sun
In a drafty old cabin, outside of Whiskey Basin
Another shining light and a good man on the run
There's a lady back in Laramie
A reason no one else can see,
For him to spend the winter on his own
Nothing much to do tomorrow, just a matter of survival
Another friendly fight in a life chokeful of fun
Yo-dle-oh-do-ooo-(etc)
It's a special kind of medicine
And all that you can do is win
Though the taste is sweet, you can refuse
Put your heart on the table
Fill your cup with moonshine
Another empty case of the Whiskey Basin Blues
Yo-dle-oh-do-ooo-(etc)
