The Strawberry Roan - Cisco Houston/Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

I was standin' 'round town just a spendin' my time[00:00:03]

Out of a job not earnin' a dime[00:00:07]

A feller steps up and he said I suppose[00:00:10]

You're a bronc bustin' man[00:00:14]

By the looks of your clothes[00:00:15]

You guessed me right I'm a good one I claim[00:00:18]

Do you happen to have any bad ones to tame[00:00:22]

He says I've got one and a bad one to buck[00:00:26]

At throwin' bronc riders he's had lots of luck[00:00:29]

He says this old pony ain't never been rode[00:00:33]

And the boy that gets on him is bound to get throwed[00:00:36]

I gets all excited and I ask what he pays[00:00:40]

To ride this old goat for a couple of days[00:00:43]

He offers a ten spot I says I'm your man[00:00:47]

For the bronc never lived that I couldn't fan[00:00:50]

No the bronc never lived nor he never drew breath[00:00:54]

That I couldn't ride till be starved plumb to death[00:00:57]

He says get your saddle I'll give you a chance[00:01:02]

We got in the buckboard and rode to the ranch[00:01:06]

We stayed until morning and right after chuck[00:01:09]

We goes out to see how that outlaw could buck[00:01:12]

Well down in the horse corral standing alone[00:01:17]

Was that old cavayo old strawberry roan[00:01:20]

His legs were spavined and he had pigeon toes[00:01:24]

Little pig eyes and a big roman nose[00:01:28]

Little pin ears that were crimped at the tip[00:01:31]

With a big 44 branded 'cross his left hip[00:01:34]

He's ewe necked and old with a long lower jaw[00:01:38]

You can see with one eye he's a reg'lar outlaw[00:01:41]

Well I puts on my spurs and I coils up my twine[00:01:46]

I piled my loop on him I'm sure feeling fine[00:01:50]

I gets in his middle and opens the blind[00:01:54]

I'm right in his middle to see him unwind[00:01:56]

He lowered his old neck and I think he unwound[00:02:02]

He seemed to quit living down there on the ground[00:02:05]

He went up towards the east and came down towards the west[00:02:09]

To stay in his middle I'm doin' my best[00:02:12]

I'll tell you no foolin' this pony can step[00:02:16]

But I'm still in his middle and buildin' a rep[00:02:19]

He goes up on all fours and comes down on his side[00:02:22]

I don't know what keeps him from losin' his hide[00:02:26]

He's about the worst bucker I've seen on the range[00:02:29]

He can turn on a nickel and give you some change[00:02:33]

I loses my stirrup and also my hat[00:02:36]

I starts pulling leather I'm blind as a bat[00:02:40]

With a big forward jump he goes up on high[00:02:43]

Leaves me sittin' on nothin' way up in the sky[00:02:46]

I turns over twice and I comes back to earth[00:02:50]

I lights in a cussin' the day of his birth[00:02:53]

I know there is ponies I'm unable to ride[00:02:58]

Some are still living they haven't all died[00:03:01]

I'll bet all my money the man ain't alive[00:03:04]

That can stay with old strawberry when he makes his high dive[00:03:08]
