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

Little Joe the Wrangler[00:00:06]

Will wrangle nevermore[00:00:09]

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

Was a year ago last April[00:00:17]

When he rode into our camp[00:00:19]

Just a little Texas stray[00:00:22]

And nothing more[00:00:24]

Was late in the evening[00:00:27]

When he rode into our camp[00:00:30]

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

With his brogan shoes[00:00:38]

And overalls a tougher looking kid[00:00:40]

You never in your life before had saw[00:00:44]

His saddle was a Texas kack[00:00:49]

Built many years ago[00:00:52]

An OK spur on one foot lightly swung[00:00:55]

With his packroll in a cotton sack[00:00:59]

So loosely tied behind[00:01:03]

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

He said he had to leave his home[00:01:11]

His pa had married twice[00:01:14]

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

So he saddled up old Chaw one night[00:01:21]

And lit a shuck his way[00:01:24]

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

He said if we would give him work[00:01:33]

He'd do the best he could[00:01:35]

Though he didn't know straight up about a cow[00:01:38]

So the boss he cut him out a mount[00:01:43]

And kindly put him on[00:01:46]

He sorta liked this little kid somehow[00:01:49]

He learned to wrangle horses[00:01:54]

And learned to know them all[00:01:57]

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

And to trail the old chuck wagon[00:02:04]

And always hitch the team[00:02:08]

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

We had hardly reached the Pecos[00:02:15]

The weather it was fine[00:02:19]

We were camped down on the south side[00:02:21]

In a draw[00:02:24]

When a northern commenced blowing[00:02:26]

And we doubled up our guards[00:02:29]

It took every one of us to hold them in[00:02:32]

Little Joe the Wrangler was called out[00:02:38]

With the rest[00:02:41]

Scarcely had the little fellow[00:02:42]

Reached the herd[00:02:45]

When the cattle they stampeded like[00:02:48]

A hailstorm on they fled[00:02:51]

And everyone was ridin' for the lead[00:02:54]

Amid the streaks of lightnin'[00:02:59]

There was one horse up ahead[00:03:01]

He was tryin' to check the leaders[00:03:04]

In their speed[00:03:06]

It was little Joe the Wrangler[00:03:09]

With a slicker o'er his head[00:03:12]

He was ridin' Old Blue Rocket in the lead[00:03:15]

At last we got them millin'[00:03:20]

And kinda quited down[00:03:23]

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

But there was one a missin'[00:03:31]

We could see it at a glance[00:03:33]

Was our little Texas stray poor Wrangler Joe[00:03:36]

Next morning just at daybreak[00:03:41]

We found where Rocket fell[00:03:44]

Down in a washout twenty feet below[00:03:47]

Beneath his horse his life had gone[00:03:52]

His spur had run it's knell[00:03:55]

Was our little Texas stray poor Wrangler Joe[00:03:57]
