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

Little Joe the Wrangler will wrangle nevermore[00:00:06]

His days with the roundup they are over[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 and nothing more[00:00:22]

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 and overalls[00:00:38]

A tougher looking kid[00:00:41]

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

His saddle was a Texas kack built many years ago[00:00:49]

An OK spur on one foot lightly swung[00:00:54]

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

So loosely tied behind[00:01:02]

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

He said he had to leave his home[00:01:10]

His pa had married twice[00:01:13]

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[00:01:32]

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

Though he didn't know straight up about a cow[00:01:37]

So the boss he cut him out a mount[00:01:42]

And kindly put him on[00:01:45]

He sorta liked this little kid somehow[00:01:48]

He learned to wrangle horses[00:01:53]

And learned to know them all[00:01:56]

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

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

And always hitch the team[00:02:07]

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[00:02:18]

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

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

And we doubled up our guards[00:02:28]

It took every one of us to hold them in[00:02:31]

Little Joe the Wrangler[00:02:37]

Was called out with the rest[00:02:39]

Scarcely had the little fellow reached the herd[00:02:41]

When the cattle they stampeded[00:02:47]

Like a hailstorm on they fled[00:02:50]

And everyone was riding for the lead[00:02:53]

Amid the streaks of lightning[00:02:58]

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

He was trying to check the leaders in their speed[00:03:03]

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

With a slicker over his head[00:03:11]

He was riding old Blue Rocket in the lead[00:03:14]

At last we got them milling and kinda quited down[00:03:19]

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

But there was one a missing[00:03:30]

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

Was our little Texas stray poor Wrangler Joe[00:03:35]

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

We found where Rocket fell[00:03:43]

Down in a washout twenty feet below[00:03:46]

Beneath his horse his life had gone[00:03:51]

His spur had run its knell[00:03:54]

Was our little Texas stray poor Wrangler Joe[00:03:56]
