[D#m] [E] Now little Joe the Wrangler, [A] he'll wrangle [E] never more, his days on the Remuda they [D#] are o'er.
[C#m] T'was a year ago last April that [A] he rode into [E] our camp, just a little [D#m] Texas stray and [E] all alone.
[A] He said he had to leave his [E] home, his pa had married twice, his new ma licked him every [D#] day or two.
[E] So he saddled up old Joe one [A] night and lit a [E] shuck this way, now he's [D#] trying to paddle his [E] own canoe.
[A] He said if we would give him [E] work he'd do the best he could, though he didn't know straight up [D#] about a cow.
[E] So the bossy cut him out a [A] mouth and kindly [E] put him on, for he's sort of [F#m] like this little [E] kid somehow.
[A] Taught him to wrangle horses [E] and try to know them all, to get them in at daybreak [D#] if he could.
[E] To follow the chuck wagon [A] and to always [E] hitch the team, and to help the [D#m] cass of near old [E] Russell Wood.
[A] We'd driven to the Pecos, [E] the weather being fine, we camped out in the south side at [F#m] the bend.
[E] When the norther commenced to blowing we [A] had double on [C#m] our guard, for he'd taken all [F#m] of us to hold [E] them in.
[A] Now little Joe the wrangler [E] was called out with the rest, though the storm had scarcely reached [D#] the herd.
[C#m] When the cattle they stayed feedin' like [A] a sandstorm long [C#m] they fled, and we was all [F#m] a-ridin' for [E] the lead.
[A] Now amid the streaks of lightning [E] the horse we saw in the lead was little Joe the wrangler's in [D#] the lead.
[C#m] He's a-ridin' old blue rocket with [A] a slicker o'er [E] his head, tryin' to check [F#m] the cattle in [E] their speed.
[A] At last we got a millin' [E] and kinda quieted down, the extra guard back to the wagon [D#] went.
But [E] there was one a-missin' and [A] we knowed him at [C#m] a glance, was a little Texas [F#m] stray poor [E] wrangling Joe.
[A] Next morning just at daybreak we [E] found where Rocket fell down in a washout twenty feet [D#] below.
[E] Beneath his horse mashed to a pulp [A] his spur had wrung [E] his nail, was a little Texas [D#] stray poor [C#m] wrangling Joe.
