i’m ready, i’m ready, as anybody can be
i’m ready, ready as anybody can be
i’m ready for you,
i hope you’re ready for me

i got an axe handle pistol
on a gavyard train
i’m shooting tombstone bullets
wearing ball and chain
drinking t’n’t’ i’m smoking dynamite
i hope some screwball starts a fight
i’m ready, ready as anybody can be
i’m ready for you,
i hope you’re ready for me

you pretty little chicks
with your wavey hair
i know you think that i ain’t nowhere
just stop what you’re doing
and come over here
i’ll prove to you honey that
i ain’t no square

i’m ready, ready as anybody can be
i’m ready for you,
i hope you’re ready for me

i’ve been drinking gin like never before
i feel so good, y want you to know
one more drink and i wish you would
it takes a whole lot of loving
to make me feel good
