Strawberry Roan (Album Version) - Michael Martin Murphey[00:03:44]

I was hanging round town, just spending my time[00:03:44]

Being out of a job and not earning a dime[00:03:44]

A fellow walks up, and he says, "I suppose[00:03:44]

You're a bronc rider, from the looks of your clothes"[00:03:44]

"Well, you figured me right, and I'm a good one, I claim[00:03:44]

Would you happen to have any outlaws to tame?"[00:03:44]

He says, "I've got one and a good one to buck[00:03:44]

At throwing top riders, he's had lots of luck"[00:03:44]

He says this here's one pony that's never been rode[00:03:44]

And the man that gets on him is bound to get throwed[00:03:44]

I got all heat up and I asked what he'd pay[00:03:44]

To ride this old nag for a couple of days[00:03:44]

Well, he offered me ten, and I says, "I'm your man[00:03:44]

For the bronc isn't living that I couldn't fan"[00:03:44]

He says, "Get your saddle, I'll give you the chance"[00:03:44]

So we hopped in his buckboard and rode to his ranch[00:03:44]

Out in the horse corral, standing alone[00:03:44]

Is an old cavallo, a strawberry roan[00:03:44]

Little pin ears that touch at the tip[00:03:44]

A big 44 brand upon his left hip[00:03:44]

He was spavined all round, and he had pigeon toes[00:03:44]

Little pig eyes and a big roman nose[00:03:44]

U-necked and old, with a long lower jaw[00:03:44]

You could tell at a glance he's a regular outlaw[00:03:44]

Well, I buckle on my spurs, and I'm sure feeling fine[00:03:44]

I pull down my hat and I pick up my twine[00:03:44]

Throw my loop on him and well I know then[00:03:44]

Before he gets rode, I'll sure earn my ten[00:03:44]

I get the blinds on him with a terrible fight[00:03:44]

Next comes the saddle, and I cinch him up tight[00:03:44]

Then I step on him and raise up the blinds[00:03:44]

"Get out of the way, boys, he's bound to unwind"[00:03:44]

Well, I threw him his head, and I'll say he unwound[00:03:44]

He seemed to quit living down here on the ground[00:03:44]

Went up in the east and come down in the west[00:03:44]

I'm sitting up on him and doing my best[00:03:44]

He sure was a frog-walker, he heaved a big sigh[00:03:44]

He only lacked wings for to be on the fly[00:03:44]

Turned his old belly right up to the sun[00:03:44]

He sure was a sunfishing son of a gun[00:03:44]

He's about the worst bucker I've seen on the range[00:03:44]

He could turn on a nickle and give you some change[00:03:44]

I lost both my stirrups and also my hat[00:03:44]

I'm reaching for leather and blind as a bat[00:03:44]

He come down on all fours, and he went up on high[00:03:44]

And he left me a-spinning up there in the sky[00:03:44]

Turned over twice and I come down to the earth[00:03:44]

And I lit into cussing the day of his birth[00:03:44]

Now I know there's ponies that I cannot ride[00:03:44]

There's some of them living, they haven't all died[00:03:44]

But I'll bet my money there's no man alive[00:03:44]

Who can stay with old Strawberry when he makes his high dive[00:03:44]
