[G#] [C#]
I was hanging around town [G#] just to spendin' me time
Out of a job [C#] and out of making a dime
When a feller steps up [F#] and he said, I [G#] suppose
You're a bronc fighter by the looks of your [C#] clothes
Well, he guesses me right [G#] and a good one, I claim
I ask him if he had [C#] any bad insta-pain
He said, I've a bad [F#] one that really can buck
[G#] And throwing all cowboys, having great luck
[C#] Well, I gets real excited, [G#] I ask what he'd pay
If I'd ride that pony [C#] a couple of days
He said, ten bucks, [F#] and I said, I'm your man
[G#] I've never seen a pony that I couldn't [C#] fan
Stayed until [G#] morning and right after junk
I goes down to see [C#] if that pony could buck
There in the horse [F#] corral standing [G#] alone
Was a little old caballo, a strawberry [C#] roe
And his legs were all [G#] spaven, he had pigeon toes
Little pin [C#] eyes and a big Roman nose
Little short [F#] ears that were split at the tips
[G#] And a map of Chihuahua all over his [C#] hips
He was ewe-necked and [G#] old, had a big lower jaw
You could tell with one [C#] eye he was a regular outlaw
I buckled on me [F#] spurs, was sure feeling [G#] fine
Pulled down me old hat and I gathered me [C#] twine
Piles of rope [G#] on him and boys I knew then
Before he gets [C#] rode, well I'll sure earn me ten
First come the [F#] blind, oh say what a [G#] fight
Next come the old saddle, I screwed her down [C#] tight
I crossed to his [G#] middle and I lifted the blind
Get out of the way [C#] boy and let him unwind
He went the frog [F#] walking and he heaves a great [G#] sigh
He only like wings for to be on the [C#] fly
Turns that old belly [G#] right up to the sun
You old sun-fishing, [C#] you son of a gun
Was the worst buck [F#] I'd seen on the range
[G#] He could turn on a nickel and give you your [C#] change
Go up in the air, [G#] roll around on his side
I don't see what kept [C#] him from losing his hide
Loses me [F#] stirrups and also my hat
[G#] On four leathers, blind as a bat
[C#] Then all of a sudden [G#] he went up on high
He left me a-sitting [C#] way up in the sky
Turned over twice, [F#] I come back to earth
[G#] I sit there a-cussing the day of his birth
[C#] There's ponies right there I [G#] ain't able to ride
There's one of them left [C#] boy, they ain't all died
I'll bet my money [F#] there's no man alive
[G#] They're gonna rattle strawberry when he takes that [C#] high dive
I was hanging around town [G#] just to spendin' me time
Out of a job [C#] and out of making a dime
