Go Back

A Cane And A High Starched Collar

Words & Music by Sid Tepper, Roy C. Bennett

Cowboy, cowboy marry me
I'll bake you a cherry pie
Well thank you very kindly mam
But I'm too young to die

Hi-lo-do-si-dosy-do
Stay single and save a dollar
Come Saturday night I'll court a pretty girl
With a cane and a high starched collar

Cowboy if you'll marry me
I'll be your darling Jenny
Now why should I drink from just one well
When I can drink from twen'y

Hi-lo-do-si-dosy-do
Stay single and save a dollar
Come Saturday night I'll court a pretty girl
With a cane and a high starched collar

Cowboy, cowboy name the day
July 'd be nice I reckon
Gladly meet you at the church
July the 32nd

Hi-lo-do-si-dosy-do
Stay single and save a dollar
Come Saturday night I'll court a pretty girl
With a cane and a high starched collar

You sleep all day and spoon all night
And eat your favourite chow
Then why should I get married mam
That's what I'm doing now

Hi-lo-do-si-dosy-do
Stay single and save a dollar
Come Saturday night I'll court a pretty girl
With a cane and a high starched collar

Elvis recorded A Cane and A High Starched Collar for his 1960 film, Flaming Star. The recording session took place in August 1960, probably at Radio Recorders. Jimmie Haskell played accordion. Although sung in the movie, A Cane and A High Starched Collar remained unreleased until the 1976 LP Elvis: A Legendary Performer, Volume 2, arrived in the music stores in January of that year. Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett are the composers.
