I was laying around town [A] just spending my time
Out of a job [D] and not earning a dime
[A] suppose that you're a bronc rider by the looks of your [D] clothes
Do you happen to [D] have any bad ones to tame?

_ _ _ I was laying around town [A] just spending my time
Out of a job [D] and not earning a dime
When a fella steps up [G] and he says
I [A] suppose that you're a bronc rider by the looks of your [D] clothes
Well you figures me [A] right I'm a good one I claim
Do you happen to [D] have any bad ones to tame?
He says I got [G] one, he's a bad one to buck
[A] He's throwing good cowboys, he's had lots [D] of luck
_ He offers me ten and [A] he says I'm your man
The bronc never [D] lived that I cannot fend
The bronc never tried [G] boy, never drew breath
[A] That I cannot ride, damn these stars clung to [D] dead
Well he says get your [A] saddle and I'll give you a chance
So we hop in the [D] buckboard and drive to the ranch
And early next morning and [G] right after chuck
[A] We step out to see if this outlaw can buck
_ [Bb] _ [Eb] Well down in the horse [Bb] corral standing alone
Was an old caballo, a strawberry roan
[Eb] Had a little pin [Ab] ears that touched at the tip
[Bb] He had a big .44
brand upon his left [Eb] hip
He had spatterin' old [Bb] legs and he had pigeon toes
Little pig eyes and a big Roman [Eb] nose
He's ewe-necked and [Ab] old with a long lower [Bb] jaw
Well I can tell with one [F] eye he's a regular outlaw
I [Eb] _
got the blind on him [Bb] with a terrible sight
I cinched on the saddle [Eb] and I girded it tight
And then I stepped on [Ab] him and I pulled down the [Bb] blind
Look out boys he's gonna [Eb] unwind
And he bowed his old neck [Bb] and I'll say he unwound
He seemed to quit [Eb] living down there on the ground
Went up to the [Ab] east and came down to the [Bb] west
With me in the saddle just to do my [Eb] bit
_ Well [F] he's sure a frog walker [C] and he heaves a big sigh
He only likes the wings [F] for to be on the fly
He turns his old belly [Bb] right up to the sun
[C] He sure is a sun fishin' son of a gun
[F] He's about the worst [C] bronco I've seen on the range
He could turn on a nickel and give you some [F] change
Came down on all [Bb] fours, turned on his side
I [C] don't see how I kept from [F] losin' my hide _ _
Well I lost my [C] stirrup and I lost my hat
I was pullin' out a leather [F] just blind as a bat
With one phenomenal jump [Bb] he made a high dive
[C] And sent me a-windin' up there in the sky
[F] I turned forty flips [C] and I come down to earth
Sat there a [F]-cussin' the day of his birth
Well I know that there's [Bb] ponies that I cannot [C] ride
Some of them livin', they havin' all [F] the high
But I bet you ten [C] dollars ain't no man alive
Who can stay on old Strawberry when he makes [F] his high dive _ _ _ _ _ _
Out of a job [D] and not earning a dime
