Tie A Knot In The Devil's Tail - Chris Ledoux[00:00:00]

Way up high[00:00:06]

In the Sierra peaks[00:00:07]

Where the yellow jack pines grow tall[00:00:08]

Old Sandy Bob and[00:00:10]

Buster Jiggs had a roundup camp last fall[00:00:12]

Oh they'd taken the horses and[00:00:15]

The runnin' irons[00:00:17]

And may be a dog or two[00:00:18]

And they swore[00:00:20]

They'd brand all long ear calves that came within their view[00:00:21]

And any old doggie that flapped long ears and[00:00:25]

Didn't brush up by day[00:00:27]

Got his long ears whittled and[00:00:29]

His old hid scorched in a most artistic way[00:00:31]

Now one fine day old[00:00:34]

Sandy Bob[00:00:36]

He throwed his easy go down[00:00:37]

Well I'm sick of the smell of this here burnin'[00:00:39]

Hair and allows I'm a goin' to town[00:00:41]

So they saddles up and[00:00:50]

They hits 'em a lope for[00:00:51]

It weren't no sign of a ride[00:00:52]

And them was the days when a buckaroo[00:00:55]

Could oil up his insides[00:00:57]

Oh they starts her off at Kentucky Bar[00:00:59]

At the head of a whiskey row[00:01:02]

And they winds up down at the depot hou[00:01:04]

Se some forty drinks below[00:01:06]

And then sets up and[00:01:09]

Turns around[00:01:10]

And goes her the other way[00:01:11]

And to tell you the god forsaken truth them boys[00:01:13]

Got stewed that day[00:01:16]

As they was a ridin' back to camp[00:01:18]

A packin' a pretty good load[00:01:21]

Well who should they meet[00:01:23]

But the devil himself a prancin' down the road[00:01:24]

Say he you ornery cowboy skunks[00:01:34]

You better hunt your holes[00:01:36]

For I've come up from hells Rim[00:01:39]

Rock to gather in your souls[00:01:41]

Says Sandy Bob old devil be d**ned[00:01:43]

We boys is kinda tight[00:01:46]

And ya ain't gonna get no cowboy souls[00:01:48]

Without one hell of a fight[00:01:51]

So Snady Bob punched a hole in his rope[00:01:53]

And he swang her straight and true[00:01:55]

And he lapped it onto the devils' horns[00:01:58]

And he taken his dallies too[00:02:00]

Now Buster Jiggs was a reita man[00:02:03]

With his gut line coiled up neat[00:02:05]

So he shakes her out and he built him[00:02:07]

A loop and he lassoed up the devil's hind feet[00:02:10]

Well they stretched him out[00:02:18]

And they tailed him down[00:02:19]

While the iron was gettin' hot[00:02:20]

And they cropped[00:02:23]

And swallow forked both his ears[00:02:23]

And they branded him up a lot[00:02:25]

They pruned him up whit a dehorning saw[00:02:28]

And they knotted his tail for a joke[00:02:30]

And then rode off and left him[00:02:32]

There neck to a blackjack oak[00:02:35]

So if your ever up high in the[00:02:38]

Sierra peaks[00:02:40]

And you hear one hell of a wail[00:02:42]

You'll know[00:02:46]

It's that devil a bellerin' about them knots tied in his tail[00:02:46]
