This tattered old hat
Ain’t goin’ nowhere
They’re gonna have to
Bury me in it
This tattered old hat
Ain’t goin’ nowhere
Ain’t goin’ nowhere soon

Found this hat in Tia
Juana, Mexico
Makes me feel at home
Wherever I go
When I sail to the land
Of the kangaroo
This tattered old hat goes too

It likes to get hung on
A cactus at night
It likes drinkin whiskey
When I turn down the light
It likes to set on my head
Head on them long
Long, long drives

This tattered old hat
Ain’t goin’ nowhere
But I got me a new one’s
Just sittin’ there
And some day I might
If I’m so inclined
Leave this old hat
Behind…

This tattered old hat
This tattered old hat
