| Let me tell you a tale and a good one I own of an old caballo a strawberry roan
|
| I was hangin' round town just a spendin' my time out of a job and not earnin' a
|
| dime
|
| When a stranger steps up and he says
|
| I suppose you’re a bronc rider by the looks of your clothes
|
| I says guess your right there’s none I can’t tame
|
| If its ridin' wild ponies that my middle name
|
| Oh that strawberry roan oh that strawberry roan
|
| He says he’s a cayuse that’s never been rode
|
| The guy that gets on him is bound to get throwed
|
| Throwed of that strawberry roan
|
| Out in the horse corral standin' alone is an old caballo, a strawberry roan
|
| Spavined old legs and small pigeon toes pair of pig eyes and a long Roman nose
|
| Little pin ears and they’re split at the tip a big fourty four brand was on his
|
| left hip
|
| So I puts on my spurs and I coils up my twine
|
| Says to that stranger that ten spot is mine
|
| Oh that strawberry roan oh that strawberry roan
|
| I’ll break him to saddle or break him my own
|
| I’ll ride him until he lies down with a grown
|
| Bring on your strawberry roan
|
| Then I puts on my blinds and it sure is a fight
|
| Next comes the saddle I screws her down tight
|
| Steps up aboard him and rises the blind get out the way boys he’s gonna unwind
|
| Shore is a broad walker he heaves a big sigh
|
| He only lacks wings for to be on the fly
|
| He’s the worse buckin' bronco I’ve seen on the range
|
| Turn on a nickle and give you some change
|
| Oh that strawberry roan oh that strawberry roan
|
| That sunfishin' critter’s worth leavin' alone
|
| There’s nary a buster from Texas to Nome
|
| Can ride that strawberry roan |
