Tying Konts In The Devil's Tai - Michael Martin Murphey[00:00:01]

Way high up in the Sierry Peaks[00:00:10]

Where the yellow-jack pines grow tall[00:00:12]

Sandy Bob and Buster Jiggs[00:00:15]

Had a round-up camp last fall[00:00:17]

They'd taken their ponies and their running irons[00:00:19]

Maybe a dog or two[00:00:21]

And they lowed thy'd brand every long-eared calf[00:00:23]

That came within their view[00:00:26]

Now many a long-eared doggie[00:00:28]

That didn't push up by day[00:00:30]

Had his old ears whittled and his old hide sizzled[00:00:32]

In a most artistic way[00:00:34]

Now Sandy Bob he said one day[00:00:37]

As he throwed his cigar down[00:00:39]

I'm tired of this cowography[00:00:41]

And I allows I'm a going into town[00:00:43]

Well they saddled their ponies up and they struckem a lope[00:00:55]

And how them boys could ride[00:00:57]

And them was the days that a ol cowboy[00:00:59]

Could oil up his whole inside[00:01:01]

Well they started out at the Kentucky Bar[00:01:03]

At the head of the Whisky Row[00:01:05]

And they wound down at the Depot House[00:01:08]

About forty drinks below[00:01:10]

Well they setem up and they turned 'em around[00:01:12]

And they went the other way[00:01:14]

And I swear the God-forsaken truth[00:01:17]

Them boys got drunk that day[00:01:18]

They mounted up and they headed to camp[00:01:21]

And they was packing a pretty good load[00:01:23]

When who should they meet[00:01:26]

But the Devil himself[00:01:27]

Come prancing down the road[00:01:28]

Well the devil says You ornery skunks[00:01:39]

You better hunt your holes[00:01:41]

Cause I'm the Devil from Hell's rim rock[00:01:43]

Come to gather in your souls[00:01:46]

Sandy Bob said Devil be damned[00:01:48]

We may be a little bit tight[00:01:50]

But before you gather any cowboy souls[00:01:52]

You're gonna have a helluva fight[00:01:55]

He swung his rope and he swung it straight[00:01:57]

And he also swung it true[00:01:59]

He caught the Devil by both his horns[00:02:01]

And taken his dallies too[00:02:03]

Now Buster Jigg was a reata man[00:02:05]

With his rawhide coiled up neat[00:02:08]

He shook it out and he built him a loop[00:02:10]

And he latched the Devils hind feet[00:02:13]

Well they stretches him out and they tails him down[00:02:24]

While the running-irons were getting hot[00:02:26]

And they cropped and swallow-forked his ears[00:02:28]

And they branded him up a lot[00:02:30]

And left there here pick night black jack cold[00:02:32]

But for this life to a little pin oak[00:02:35]

Tied ten knots in his tail for a joke[00:02:38]

Now when you're high in the Sierry Peaks[00:02:41]

And you hear one hell of a wail[00:02:44]

It's just the Devil himself[00:02:46]

Yelling bout them knots in his tail[00:02:48]
