The Strawberry Roan - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]
I was hanging round town just spending my time[00:00:04]
Out of a job not earning a dime[00:00:09]
A feller steps up and he said I suppose[00:00:13]
You're a bronc fighter from looks of your clothes[00:00:18]
You figures me right I'm a good one I claim[00:00:22]
Do you happen to have any bad ones to tame[00:00:26]
Said He's got one a bad one to buck[00:00:30]
At throwing good riders he's had lots of luck[00:00:35]
I gets all het up and I ask what he pays[00:00:42]
To ride this old nag for a couple of days[00:00:47]
He offered me ten I said I'm your man[00:00:51]
A bronc never lived that I couldn't span[00:00:56]
He said Get your saddle I'll give you a chance[00:01:00]
In his buckboard we hopped and he drives to the ranch[00:01:04]
I stayed still morning and right after chuck[00:01:08]
I stepped out to see if this outlaw can buck[00:01:13]
Down in the horse corral standing alone[00:01:21]
Is an old Caballo a Strawberry Roan[00:01:25]
His legs are all spavined he's got pigeon toes[00:01:29]
Little pig eyes and a big Roman nose[00:01:33]
Little pin ears that touched at the tip[00:01:38]
A big 44 brand was on his left hip[00:01:42]
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[00:01:58]
Next comes the saddle and I screws it down tight[00:02:02]
Then I steps on im and I raises the blinds[00:02:07]
Get outta the way boys he's gonna unwind[00:02:11]
He sure is a frog-walker he heaves a big sigh[00:02:15]
He only lacks wings for to be on the fly[00:02:19]
He turns his old belly right up to the sun[00:02:24]
He sure is a sun-fishing son-of-a-gun[00:02:28]
He's about the worst bucker I've seen on the range[00:02:35]
He'll turn on a Nickel and give you some change[00:02:40]
He hits on all fours and goes up on high[00:02:44]
Leaves me a spinning up there in the sky[00:02:48]
I turns over twice and I comes back to earth[00:02:53]
I lights in a cussing the day of his birth[00:02:57]
I know there are ponies that I cannot ride[00:03:01]
There's some of them left they haven't all died[00:03:05]
I'll bet all my money the man aint alive[00:03:10]
That'll stay with Old Strawberry[00:03:14]
When he makes his high dive[00:03:16]
