Speckled Roan |
| I used to ride a little old speckled roan |
| I told him lots of things I wouldn’t have told at home |
| I said to the speckled roan, said I, «I'm so lonesome I could die, |
| but I ain’t gonna stay lonesome very long.» |
| I used to ride a little ole yellow dun |
| Mending fences, rode him in the rain and sun |
| I said to the yellow dun, said I, «I'm gonna be rich or know the reason why. |
| Gonna take my money to town and find the fun.» |
| And then I bought me a big old ropin' gray |
| Roped for money and I made it ev’ry day |
| But I said to the ropin' gray, said I, «I sure do miss that prairie sky,» |
| and he let out laughin' and he surely knowed the way |
| I brought my money home and I brought it home to stay |
| Couldn’t have stayed in town, not another day |
| I’m gonna live out under a prairie sky. |
| Gonna live out there 'till the day I |
| die with the roan and the dun and the big old ropin' gray |
