Old Red - Marty Robbins[00:00:01]
Written by:M. Robbins[00:00:02]
Old Red was one of the onriest yet[00:00:04]
I'd seen at the big rodeo[00:00:08]
He'd bite you and kick you and stomp out your life[00:00:12]
Old Red had never been rode[00:00:16]
Meaner than sin wild as the wind[00:00:20]
That blew on the Montana plains[00:00:23]
Old Red was one of the last of his breed[00:00:27]
Wasn't about to be tamed[00:00:31]
From Idaho a young cowboy came[00:00:35]
To ride in the big rodeo[00:00:39]
The young cowboy's name was Billy McLain[00:00:42]
And Billy had never been thrown[00:00:46]
The greatest desire filled young Billy's heart[00:00:50]
To ride this old outlaw called Red[00:00:54]
He drew him one day and I heard Billy say[00:00:58]
I'll ride him or drop over dead[00:01:01]
Old Red was wicked down there in the shoot[00:01:06]
He was kickin' and stompin' about[00:01:09]
Billy climbed into the saddle with ease[00:01:13]
Then yelled turn 'em loose let us out[00:01:17]
Old Red came out with his head on the ground[00:01:21]
His back hooves were touchin' his nose[00:01:24]
Tryin' to get rid of the man on his back[00:01:28]
But the man went wherever he'd go[00:01:32]
Billy was rackin' Old Red with his spurs[00:01:36]
From the tail to the tip of his chin[00:01:39]
He was doin' right well but Billy could tell[00:01:43]
This outlaw would never give in[00:01:47]
Old Red was runnin' straight for the fence[00:01:51]
Suddenly stoppin' and then[00:01:55]
He reared on his hind legs then fell on his back[00:01:58]
Takin' poor Billy with him[00:02:02]
There was a hush in the crowd and they knew[00:02:06]
This would be Billy's last ride[00:02:10]
The saddle horn crushed Billy's chest when they fell[00:02:13]
And under Old Red Billy died[00:02:17]
Old Red lay still no more would he move[00:02:21]
The cowboys that seen it could tell[00:02:25]
In trying to throw Billy off his back[00:02:29]
Old Red broke his neck when he fell[00:02:32]
Out in the west is the place where they rest[00:02:36]
This cowboy that never was thrown[00:02:40]
And one foot away restin' there neath the clay[00:02:44]
Is the outlaw that never was rode[00:02:47]
