Ol' Zebra Dun - Slim Clark[00:00:00]
We was camped on the plains at the head of the Cimmaron[00:00:10]
When along comes a stranger who stopped to try some[00:00:14]
He looked so very foolish we begun to look around[00:00:18]
We thought he was a greenhorn just escaped from town[00:00:22]
He said he'd lost his job up on the Santa Fe[00:00:28]
He was goin' 'cross the plains to for to hit the Seven D[00:00:32]
He didn't say how come it some trouble with the boss[00:00:36]
He said he like the borrow and a fat saddle horse[00:00:39]
This tickled all the boys to death we laughed way down our sleeves[00:00:46]
We lend you a horse just as fresh and fat as you please[00:00:51]
Shorty grabbed his lariat and he roped the Zebra Dun[00:00:55]
He turn them more to the stranger and waited for the fun[00:00:59]
Old Dunny was an outlaw he'd grown so awful wild[00:01:07]
He could paw the white right down the moon when every he get ravel[00:01:11]
Old Dunny stood right still as he didn't know[00:01:15]
And till he was saddled up and ready for to go[00:01:19]
When the stranger hit the saddle old Dunny quit the earth[00:01:26]
He travel right staight up for all that he was worth[00:01:30]
A pitching and a-squealin' and a-having wall-eyed fits[00:01:34]
His front feet perpendicular his hind one in the bits[00:01:38]
We could see the tops of mountains under Dunny every jump[00:01:43]
But the stranger he just glued there like the camel's hump[00:01:47]
The stranger sat upon and twirled his black moustache[00:01:51]
Just like a summer boarder are waitin' for the hash[00:01:55]
He thumped him in the shoulders and he spun him when he whirled[00:02:00]
He showed him flunky pantry see was wolf of the world[00:02:04]
And this strangers had dismounted and once more upon the ground[00:02:08]
We knew we was a thoroughbred and not a giant from town[00:02:12]
The boss he was a-standin' round just watchin' of the show[00:02:20]
Walked right up to the stranger and said[00:02:24]
You needn't go[00:02:27]
If you can use a lariat like you rode old Zebra Dun[00:02:28]
You're the man I'm looking for since the year of one[00:02:32]
And when the herd stampeded he was always on the spot[00:02:37]
And set them down to nothing like the boiling of a pot[00:02:41]
There's one thing and a shore thing I've learned since I was born[00:02:45]
Every educated feller ain't a plumb greenhorn[00:02:49]
