Little Joe the Wrangler - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]

Written by：N. Howard Jack Thorp[00:00:02]

Little Joe the wrangler will wrangle nevermore[00:00:06]

His days with the roundup they are o'er[00:00:11]

Was a year ago last April when he rode into our camp[00:00:16]

Just a little Texas stray and nothing more[00:00:22]

Was late in the evening when he rode into our camp[00:00:27]

On the little Texas pony he called Chaw[00:00:33]

With his brogan shoes and overalls a tougher looking kid[00:00:38]

You never in your life before had saw[00:00:43]

His saddle was a Texas Kack built many years ago[00:00:49]

An ok spur on one foot lightly swung[00:00:54]

With his packroll in a cotton sack so loosely tied behind[00:00:59]

And a canteen from his saddle horn was slung[00:01:05]

He said he had to leave his home his pa had married twice[00:01:10]

His new ma whipped him every day or two[00:01:16]

So he saddled up old Chaw one night and lit a shuck his way[00:01:21]

He said he'd try to paddle his own canoe[00:01:27]

He said if we would give him work he'd do the best he could[00:01:32]

Though he didn't know straight up about a cow[00:01:37]

So the boss he cut him out a mount and kindly put him on[00:01:43]

He sorta liked this little kid somehow[00:01:48]

He learned to wrangle horses and learned to know them all[00:01:54]

And get them in at daybreak if he could[00:01:59]

And to trail the old chuck wagon and always hitch the team[00:02:04]

And help to cook each evening rustle wood[00:02:10]

We had hardly reached the Pecos the weather it was fine[00:02:15]

We were camped down on the south side in a draw[00:02:20]

When a northern commenced blowing and we doubled up our guards[00:02:25]

It took every one of us to hold them in[00:02:31]

Little Joe the wrangler was called out with the rest[00:02:37]

Scarcely had the little fellow reached the herd[00:02:41]

When the cattle they stampeded like a hailstorm on they fled[00:02:47]

And everyone was ridin' for the lead[00:02:52]

Amid the streaks of lightnin' there was one horse up ahead[00:02:58]

He was tryin' to check the leaders in their speed[00:03:03]

It was little Joe the wrangler with a slicker o'er his head[00:03:09]

He was ridin' old blue rocket in the lead[00:03:14]

At last we got them millin' and kinda quited down[00:03:19]

And the extra guards back to the wagon went[00:03:25]

But there was one a missin' we could see it at a glance[00:03:30]

Was our little Texas stray poor wrangler Joe[00:03:35]

Next morning just at daybreak we found where rocket fell[00:03:41]

Down in a washout twenty feet below[00:03:46]

Beneath his horse his life had gone his spung had run its knell[00:03:51]

Was our little Texas stray poor wrangler Joe[00:03:56]
