I've got spurs

As seems to happen more and more as age creeps up on me, I wake up with something running through my head from the past. This morning it was an old song, that anyone under 60 who doesn't watch old TV westerns would not know. "I've got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle." To arouse memories in some and enlightenment in others here you go. Join me in sounds of yesteryear.

Blaine, listen up. It's your last chance.
No, there are also songs about lonely cowboys. We look forward to celebrating your Wedded Bliss to Jordan this weekend. Hang up those spurs as you jump in the pool.

Gene Autry I've got spurs

Lyrics
Yippy yeah, there'll be no wedding bells for today
I've got spurs that jingle, jangel, jingle
As I go riding merrily along
And they sing, oh, ain't you glad you're single?
And that song ain't so very far from wrong
Oh, Lillie Belle, oh, Lillie Belle
Though I may have done some fooling
This is why I never fell
I've got spurs that jingle, jangel, jingle
As I go riding merrily along
And they sing, oh, ain't you glad you're single?
And that song ain't so very far from wrong
I've got spurs that jingle, jangel, jingle
As I go riding merrily along
And they sing, oh, ain't you glad you're single?
And that song ain't so very far from wrong
Oh, Sally Jane, oh, Sally Jane
Though I'd loved to stay forever
This is why I can't remain
I've got spurs that jingle, jangel, jingle
As I go riding merrily along
And they sing, oh, ain't you glad you're single?
And that song ain't so very far from wrong
I've got spurs that jingle, jangel, jingle
As I go riding merrily along
And they sing, oh, ain't you glad you're single?
And that song ain't so very far from wrong
Oh, Mary Ann, oh, Mary Ann
Though we've done some moonlight walking
This is why I up and ran
I've got spurs that jingle, jangel, jingle
As I go riding merrily along
And they sing, oh, ain't you glad you're single?
And that song ain't so very far from wrong
And that song ain't so very far from wrong
So I jingle, jangel, jingle all along
