Here are three verses from "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly (Fond of Each Other)" that don't show up on Willie Nelson's version of the song (see below) but are on Pansy Division's. I don't think Willie was editing, he just couldn't fit all the verses into a 3:33 song. Pansy Division is a punk band and storms through the verses much more quickly.
Ten men for each woman was the rule way back when on the prairie,
And somehow those cowboys must have kept themselves warm late at night.
Cowboys are famous for getting riled up about fairies,
But I'll tell you the reason a big strong man gets so uptight.
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
That's why they wear leather, and Levi's and belts buckled tight.
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his brother,
There's many a cowboy who's more like a lady at night.
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other,
Even though they take speed and drive pickups and shoot their big guns;
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his brother,
There's many a cowboy who keeps quiet about things he's done.
