[Eb] I was hanging around [Bb] town just spending my time
Out of a job, [Eb] not earning a dime
A fella steps up [Ab] and he said, I suppose
[Bb] You're a brawn fighter from the looks of your clothes
[Eb] He figures me right, [Bb] I'm a good one I claim
Do you happen to [Eb] have any bad ones to tame?
Said he's got one, [Ab] a bad one to buck
[Bb] For throwing good riders, he's had lots [Eb] of luck
I gets all head up and I [Bb] ask what he pays
To ride this old nag for [Eb] a couple of days
He offered me ten and [Ab] I said, I'm your man
[Bb] A bronc never lived that I couldn't fan
[Eb] He said, get your saddle, [Bb] I'll give you a chance
In his buckboard we hops and [Eb] he drives to the ranch
I stayed till [Ab] morning and right after [Bb] chuck
I stepped out to see if this [Eb] outlaw can bug
Down in the [Bb] horse corral standing alone
Is an old cavallo a strawberry [Eb] roam
His legs are all [Ab] spaff and he's got pigeon toes
[Bb] Little pig eyes and a big Roman nose
[Eb]
Little pin ears [Bb] that touch at the tip
A big 44 [Eb] brand was on his left hip
U-neck and all with [Ab] a long lower jaw
[Bb] I could see with one eye he's a [Eb] regular outlaw
I gets the blinds on him [Bb] and it sure is a fright
Next comes my saddle [Eb] and I screws it down tight
Then I steps on [Ab] him and I raises the blind
[Bb] Get out the way boys, he's gonna unwind
[Eb] He sure is a frog walker, [Bb] he heaves a big sigh
He only likes wings for [Eb] to be on the fly
He turns his old [Ab] belly right up to the sun
[Bb] He sure is a sun fish and son of [Eb] a gun
He's about the worst bucker [Bb] I've seen on the range
He'll turn [Eb] on a nickel and give you some change
He hits on all [Ab] fours and goes up on high
[Bb] Leaves me a spinning up there in the sky
[Eb] I turns over twice [Bb] and I comes back to earth
A lights in to [Eb] cussin' the day of his birth
I know there are ponies [Ab] that I cannot ride
[Bb] There's some of them left, they haven't all died
[Eb] I'll bet all my money [Bb] the man he lied
That'll stay with old Strawberry when he makes his high [Eb] dive
Out of a job, [Eb] not earning a dime
A fella steps up [Ab] and he said, I suppose
[Bb] You're a brawn fighter from the looks of your clothes
[Eb] He figures me right, [Bb] I'm a good one I claim
