The Strawberry Roan - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]
I was hangin' 'round town just spendin' my time[00:00:04]
Out of a job not earnin' a dime[00:00:08]
A feller steps up and he said I suppose[00:00:13]
You're a bronc fighter from looks of your clothes [00:00:17]
You figures me right I'm a good one I claim[00:00:21]
Do you happen to have any bad ones to tame [00:00:25]
Said He's got one a bad one to buck[00:00:30]
At throwin' good riders he's had lots of luck [00:00:34]
I gets all het up and I ask what he pays[00:00:42]
To ride this old nag for a couple of days[00:00:46]
He offered me ten; I said I'm your man [00:00:51]
A bronc never lived that I couldn't span [00:00:55]
He said: Get your saddle I'll give you a chance[00:00:59]
In his buckboard we hopped and he drives to the ranch[00:01:03]
I stayed 'til mornin' and right after chuck[00:01:07]
I stepped out to see if this outlaw can buck [00:01:12]
Down in the horse corral standin' alone[00:01:20]
Is an old Caballo a Strawberry Roan[00:01:24]
His legs are all spavined he's got pigeon toes[00:01:28]
Little pig eyes and a big Roman nose[00:01:33]
Little pin ears that touched at the tip[00:01:37]
A big 44 brand was on his left hip[00:01:41]
U-necked and old with a long lower jaw[00:01:46]
I could see with one eye he's a regular outlaw [00:01:50]
I gets the blinds on 'im and it sure is a fright[00:01:57]
Next comes the saddle and I screws it down tight[00:02:01]
Then I steps on 'im and I raises the blinds[00:02:06]
Get outta the way boys he's gonna unwind[00:02:10]
He sure is a frog-walker he heaves a big sigh[00:02:14]
He only lacks wings for to be on the fly[00:02:19]
He turns his old belly right up to the sun[00:02:23]
He sure is a sun-fishin' son-of-a-gun [00:02:27]
He's about the worst bucker I've seen on the range[00:02:34]
He'll turn on a Nickel and give you some change[00:02:39]
He hits on all fours and goes up on high[00:02:43]
Leaves me a spinnin' up there in the sky[00:02:47]
I turns over twice and I comes back to earth[00:02:52]
I lights in a cussin' the day of his birth[00:02:56]
I know there are ponies that I cannot ride[00:03:00]
There's some of them left they haven't all died [00:03:04]
I'll bet all my money the man ain't alive[00:03:09]
That'll stay with Old Strawberry[00:03:13]
When he makes his high dive[00:03:15]
