strawberry roan lyrics
i was hanging ’round town, just spending my time
out of a job, wasn’t earning a dime
feller walks up, and he says, “i suppose
you’re a bronc fighter, by the looks of your clothes.”
“you figures me right. i’m a good one, i claim
do you happen to have any bad ones to tame?”
said he’s got one, a bad one to buck
at throwing good riders he’s had lots of luck
well, i gets all het up and i asks what he pays
to ride this old nag for a couple of days
he offers me ten, i says, “i’m your man
the bronc never lived that i couldn’t fan.”
he says, “get your saddle, i’ll give you a chancе.”
in his wagon we climbs and we drives to his ranch
stays until morning, thеn right after chuck
i goes out to see if this outlaw can buck
down in the horse corral standing alone
an old caballo, a strawberry roan
his legs’re all spavined, he’s got pigeon toes
little pig eyes and a big roman nose
little pin ears that touch at the tip
a map of chihuahua over his hip;
ewe+necked and old, got a long lower jaw
i could see with one eye he’s a reg’lar outlaw
i straps on my spurs i’m sure feeling fine
i pulls down my hat and i gathers my twine
i piles a rope on him and
before he gets rode well i’ll sure earn my ten
first comes the blinds, and lord what a fight
next comes the saddle, i screws it down tight
i lands on his middle, and i lifts off the blinds
“get outta the way, boys, and let him unwind!”
he sure is a frog+walker, he heaves a big sigh
he only lacks wings for to be on the fly
he turns his old belly right up to the sun
he sure is a sun+fishin’ son of a gun!
he’s about the worst bucker i’ve seen on the range
he can turn on a nickel and give you your change
he hits on all fours, then he goes up on high
just leaves me a+spinning’ up there in the sky
i turns over twice, and i comes back to earth
i lights in a+cussin’ the day of his birth
now i know there are ponies that i cannot ride
there’s some of them left, they haven’t all died
but i’ll bet all my money a man ain’t alive
who can stay with old strawberry
when he makes his high dive
