Little Joe The Wrangler - Sara Carter[00:00:00]

Little Joe the Wrangler will wrangle nevermore[00:00:01]

His days with the roundup they are o'er[00:00:06]

Was a year ago last April[00:00:10]

When he rode into our camp[00:00:12]

Just a little Texas stray and nothing more[00:00:14]

Was late in the evening[00:00:18]

When he rode into our camp[00:00:21]

On the little Texas pony he called Chaw[00:00:23]

With his brogan shoes[00:00:27]

And overalls a tougher looking kid[00:00:28]

You never in your life before had saw[00:00:31]

His saddle was a Texas kack built many years ago[00:00:36]

An OK spur on one foot lightly swung[00:00:40]

With his packroll in a cotton[00:00:44]

Sack so loosely tied behind[00:00:46]

And a canteen from his saddle horn was slung[00:00:48]

He said he had to leave his home[00:00:53]

His pa had married twice[00:00:55]

His new ma whipped him every day or two[00:00:57]

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

And lit a shuck his way[00:01:04]

He said he'd try to paddle his own canoe[00:01:05]

He said if we would give him work[00:01:10]

He'd do the best he could[00:01:12]

Though he didn't know straight up about a cow[00:01:14]

So the boss he cut him out a mount[00:01:18]

And kindly put him on[00:01:20]

He sorta liked this little kid somehow[00:01:22]

He learned to wrangle horses[00:01:26]

And learned to know them all[00:01:28]

And get them in at daybreakk if he could[00:01:31]

And to trail the old chuck wagon[00:01:35]

And always hitch the team[00:01:37]

And help to cook each evening rustle wood[00:01:39]

We had hardly reached the[00:01:43]

Pecos the weather it was fine[00:01:44]

We were camped down[00:01:47]

On the south side in a draw[00:01:48]

When a northern commenced blowing[00:01:51]

And we doubled up our guards[00:01:53]

It took every one of us to hold them in[00:01:55]

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

Scarcely had the little fellow reached the herd[00:02:04]

When the cattle they[00:02:08]

Stampeded like a hailstorm on they fled[00:02:09]

And everyone was ridin' for the lead[00:02:12]

Between the streaks of lightnin'[00:02:16]

We could see a horse ahead[00:02:18]

It was Little Joe the Wrangler in the lead[00:02:20]

He was riding old Blue[00:02:24]

Rocket with a slicker o'er his head[00:02:26]

He was trying to check the leaders in their speed[00:02:28]

We finally got 'em millin'[00:02:33]

And they sort of quieted down[00:02:35]

The extra guard back to the camp did go[00:02:37]

All but one of them was[00:02:41]

Missing and we all knew at a glance[00:02:43]

T'was our little Texas stray boy Wrangler Joe[00:02:45]

We found him there at sun up[00:02:49]

Where old Blue Rocket fell[00:02:51]

In a washout some twenty feet below[00:02:53]

Beneath his horse smashed to a pulp [00:02:57]

His spur had rung the knell[00:03:00]

For our little Texas stray boy Wrangler Joe[00:03:02]
