There's a young man that I know whose age is twenty-one
 
 Comes from down in southern Colorado
 
 Just out of the service, he's lookin' for his fun
 
 Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon
 
  
  My parents can not stand him 'cause he rides the rodeo
 
 My father says that he will leave me cryin'
 
 I would follow him right down the roughest road I know
 
 Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon
  
 
 But when he comes to call, my pa ain't got a good word to say
 
 Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in his younger days
  
 
 So blow, you old Blue Northern, blow my love to me
 
 He's ridin' in tonight from California
 
 He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me
 
 Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon
