lyrics wanted for "Kid With The Rip In His Pants"

[Herb Steiner]

... a song that Roy Rogers recorded with Andy Parker and the Plainsmen. I've got most of the words but I need the "official" lyrics. Any old-timers out there remember this one well enough to help me out?

Great solo by Joaquin.

[Herb Steiner]

Of course a great solo by Joaquin, silly!!

I've got the recording. The only lyric in question for me is line 6 of the first verse, after the line "they've been patched a thousand times," and preceding the line "still they're torn each time they're worn."

The song was written by Jack Owens, who wrote the Hawaiian classic, "The Hukilau Song."

That Joachin is some fiddler!

Herb:
With a title like that, are we to assume you have on your Cornell Hurd A&R hat today?
