Zebra Dun - Cisco Houston/Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]
We were camped on the bend[00:00:03]
At the head of the Cimmarron [00:00:04]
When along come a stranger [00:00:07]
And he stopped to argue some [00:00:10]
Well he looked so very foolish[00:00:13]
We began to look around [00:00:14]
We thought he was a greenhorn [00:00:16]
Just escaped from town [00:00:18]
He said he'd lost his job[00:00:22]
Upon the Sante Fe [00:00:23]
And was going cross the prairie[00:00:26]
To strike the 7D [00:00:29]
He didn't say how come it [00:00:31]
Some trouble with the boss [00:00:33]
And asked if he could borrow[00:00:35]
A fat saddle horse [00:00:36]
This tickled all the boys to death [00:00:39]
They laughed right up their sleeves [00:00:41]
Oh we will lend you a fine horse [00:00:43]
As fresh as fat as you please [00:00:45]
Then Shorty grabbed the lariat [00:00:48]
And he roped the Zebra Dun [00:00:50]
And he gave him to the stranger [00:00:52]
And waited for the fun [00:00:54]
Now old Dunny was an outlaw [00:00:59]
He had grown so very wild [00:01:02]
Well he could paw the moon down [00:01:05]
Boys he could jump a mile [00:01:07]
Old Dunny stood right still [00:01:10]
As if he didn't know [00:01:12]
Until he was saddle[00:01:14]
And a ready for the go [00:01:15]
When the stranger hit the saddle [00:01:19]
Well old Dunny quit the earth [00:01:20]
He traveled right straight upwards[00:01:23]
For all that he was worth [00:01:26]
A bucking and a squealing [00:01:28]
And a having wall eyed fits [00:01:30]
His hind feet perpendicular [00:01:31]
His front feet in the bits [00:01:33]
We could see the tops of the mountains[00:01:38]
Under Dunny's every jump [00:01:40]
The stranger he was growed there [00:01:42]
Like the camel's hump [00:01:44]
The stranger sat upon him [00:01:46]
And he curled his black mustache [00:01:48]
Just like a summer boarder[00:01:49]
Who was waiting for his hash [00:01:51]
Well he thumped him in the shoulders[00:01:55]
And he spurred him when he whirled [00:01:57]
He hollered to the punchers [00:02:00]
"I'm the wolf of the world "[00:02:03]
And when he had dismounted[00:02:05]
Once more upon the ground [00:02:07]
We knew he was a thoroughbred[00:02:09]
And not a gent from town [00:02:12]
Now the boss who was a standing around [00:02:16]
A watching of the show [00:02:18]
He walked up to the stranger [00:02:20]
And he said he needn't go [00:02:22]
If you can handle a lariat[00:02:24]
Like you rode the Zebra Dun [00:02:26]
You're the man that I've been looking[00:02:27]
For since the year of one [00:02:29]
Well there's one thing and a sure thing [00:02:34]
I've learned since I've been born [00:02:37]
That every educated feller[00:02:39]
Ain't a plumb greenhorn[00:02:42]
