Old Red - Chris Ledoux[00:00:00]
Old red was one of the orneriest yet I've seen at the big rodeo[00:00:04]
He's bite you and kick you and stomp out your life[00:00:10]
Old red had never been rode[00:00:13]
Meaner than sin wild as the wind that blew on the Montana plain[00:00:17]
Old red was one of the last of his breed[00:00:24]
And wasn't about to be tamed[00:00:27]
From Idaho a young cowboy came to ride in the big rodeo[00:00:30]
The young cowboy's name was Billy McClain and Billy had never been thrown[00:00:37]
The greatest desire filled young Billy's heart[00:00:44]
To ride this old outlaw called red[00:00:47]
He drew him one day and I heard Billy say[00:00:50]
I'll ride him or drop over dead[00:00:53]
Old red was wicked down there in the chute[00:00:57]
He was kicking and stomping about[00:01:00]
Billy dropped into the saddle with ease[00:01:04]
Then yelled turn him loose let us out[00:01:07]
Old red came out with his head on the ground[00:01:11]
His back hooves were touching his nose[00:01:14]
Trying to get rid of the man of his back[00:01:17]
But the man went wherever he'd go[00:01:20]
Billy was raking old red with his spurs[00:01:29]
From his tail to the tip of his chin[00:01:32]
He was doing right well but Billy could tell this outlaw would never give in[00:01:35]
Old red was running straight for the fence suddenly stopped in and then[00:01:42]
He rared on his hind legs[00:01:49]
Then fell on his back taking poor Billy with him[00:01:50]
There was a hush in the crowd[00:01:56]
And they knew this would be Billy's last ride[00:01:58]
The saddle horn crushed Billy's chest[00:02:02]
They fell and under old red Billy died[00:02:05]
Old red lay still no more would he move[00:02:09]
The cowboys that seen it could tell[00:02:12]
In trying to throw Billy off of his back[00:02:15]
Old red broke his neck when he fell[00:02:19]
Out in the west is the place where they rest[00:02:22]
This cowboy that never was thrown[00:02:26]
And one foot away resting there neath the clay[00:02:29]
Is the outlaw that never was rode[00:02:32]
