[N]
[D] I [Dm] was hanging around town, [A] just spending some time
Out of a job, [D] not earning [A] a dime
[D]
A fella steps up and [G] he says, I suppose
[A] You're [Eb] a brown fighter [A] from the looks of your clothes
[D] He figures me right, [A] I'm a good one to claim
[Am] Do you happen [A] to have [D] any bad ones to tame?
Said he's got one, a [G] bad one to buck
Throwing good [A] riders, he's had [D] lots of luck
When I gets all head up [A] and I ask what he pays
[Am] To ride this old nag for [D] a couple of days
He offered me ten and [G] I said, I'm your man
[A] I won't never live that I could fan
[D] Said get your saddle and [A] I'll give you a chance
In his buckboard we hops and [D] he drives to the ranch
Stayed until [G] morning and right after chuck
[Am] Steps out [A] to see if the south log [D] can puff
Down in the horse [A] corral standing alone
Is an old caballo, [D] a strawberry roam
His legs are all spanned [G] and he's got pigeon toes
[A]
Little pig eyes and a big roaming nose
[D] Little pin ears [A] and a touch at the tip
Big 44 brand [D] on his left hip
You neck and all [G] with a long lower jaw
I can see with one [A] eye he's a regular [D] outlaw
[Dm] Well I get some [D] blinds on him and [A] it sure is a fright
Next comes my saddle and [D] I screws her down tight
Then I [Dm] steps on him and I [G] raises the blind
[Eb] It's get out the way [A] boys he's gonna unwind
He [D] sure is a frog walker, he [A] heaves up his side
He only likes swings, [D] put it beyond the blind
Turns his old belly [G] right up to the sun
Sure is a sun [A] fishing son of [D] a gun
He's about the worst buckler [A] I've seen on the range
He'll turn on [D] a nickel and give you some change
Hits on all [G] fours and goes up on high
[A]
Leaves me spinning up there in the sky
[D]
Turns over twice, [A] comes back to earth
Lights in the cussing [D] the day of his birth
I know there are ponies [G] that I can own
Some of them are not right, [A] some of them left they haven't all died
[D] I bet all my money [A] the man ain't lyin'
That'll stay with old Strawberry when he makes his hide
[D] I [Dm] was hanging around town, [A] just spending some time
