Lyrics

Let the Good Times Roll
(Cowboy, Le Bon Ton Roulet)

I learned how to drink in Cajun
I learned how to dance in New Orleans
I learned to play down in Texas
Now I'm what you call a cowgirls dream
I was born in the middle of New Mexico
But a Cajun gave me my name
Thats why I've always been know as
Known as, Cowboy Le Bon Ton Roulet

Just Let the Good Times Roll, boys
Let the Good Times Roll
Remember what the Cajuns say
No matter what your doing, pull your hat down low
Cowboy, Le Bon Ton Roulet

I've always had me the same two friends
Happy and Go Lucky are their names
Good ol boys, a couple of honky tonkin Cajuns
And they know how to Le Bon Ton Roulet
No matter where you are along lifes journey
No matter where you are along your way
When all else fails, and nothing else works
Cowboy, Le Bon Ton Roulet

Just Let the Good Times Roll boys
Let the Good Times Roll
Remember what the Cajuns say
No matter what your doing pull your hat down low
Cowboy, Le Bon Ton Roulet

Well, I finally went to see my doctor
And I didn't like just what he had to say
I said, doc I don't need no prescription
I'll just Cowboy Le Bon Ton Roulet

I'll Let the Good Times Roll boys
Let the Good Times Roll
Remember what the Cajuns say
No matter what your doing, pull your hat down low
Cowboy, Le Bon Ton Roulet
No matter what your doing pull your hat down low
Cowboy, Le Bon Ton Roulet
