Thank you my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the audio track of Hoyle Nix & His West Texas Cowboys performing "A Big Ball's In Cowtown." Hoyle Nix recorded it in 1949 for Dallas’s Talent Records

"Big Ball's In Cowtown" written by Hoyle Nix
Lyrics
"Big ball's in Cowtown
We'll all go down
Big ball's in Cowtown
We'll dance around

Workin' on the railroad
Sleepin' on the ground
Eatin' saltine crackers
Ten cents a pound

Big ball's in Cowtown
We'll all go down
Big ball's in Cowtown
We'll dance around

I'll go to Cowtown
I'll dance around
Board up your windows
The big boy's in town

Big ball's in Cowtown
We'll all go down
Big ball's in Cowtown
We'll dance around

Put on your new shoes
Put on your gown
Shake off them sad blues
The big ball's in town

Big ball's in Cowtown
We'll all go down
Big ball's in Cowtown
We'll dance around

Everybody's smilin'
You can't find a frown
The girls are all happy cause
The big ball's in town

Big ball's in Cowtown
We'll all go down
Big ball's in Cowtown
Big ball's in town"
