Verse 1
Little (D major) Joe the Wrangler
will wrangle (G major) nevermore (D major)
His days with the roundup they are (A major) o'er
Was a (D major) year ago last April when
he rode (G major) into our camp (D major)
Just a little Texas stray (A major) and nothing more

Verse 2
Was late in the evening when
he rode (G major) into our camp (D major)
On the little Texas pony he called (A major) Chaw
With his brogan (D major) shoes and
overalls a tougher (G major) looking kid (D major)
You never in your life (A major) before had saw
(D major)
Verse 3
His saddle (G major) was a Texas
kack built many (D major) years ago
An OK spur on one foot lightly swung (A major)
With his (D major) packroll in a cotton
sack so loosely (G major) tied behind (D major)
And a canteen from his
saddle (A major) horn was slun (D major) g
Verse 4
He said (D major) he had to leave his home
his (G major) pa had married twice (D major)
His new ma whipped him every day or two (A major)
So he saddled (D major) up old Chaw one
night and lit (G major) a shuck his way (D major)
He said he'd try to paddle (A major) his own canoe
(D major)
Verse 5
He said (G major) if we would give him work
he'd do (D major) the best he could
Though he didn't know
straight up about a cow (A major)
So the boss (D major) he cut him out a
mount and kindly (G major) put him on (D major)
He sorta liked this little (A major) kid somehow
(D major)
Verse 6
He learned to wrangle horses an
(G major) d learned to know them all (D major)
And get them in at daybreakk if (A major) he could
And to trail (D major) the old chuck wagon
an (G major) d always hitch the team (D major)
And help to cook each evening (A major) rustle (D major) wood
Verse 7
We had hardly (G major) reached the Pecos
the (D major) weather it was fine
We were camped down on
the south side in a draw (A major)
When a north (D major) ern commenced blowing
and we (G major) doubled up our guard (D major) s
It took every one of us (A major) to hold them in (D major)
Verse 8
(D major) Little Joe the Wrangler was (G major) called
out with the rest (D major)
Scarcely had the little fellow
reached the herd (A major)
When the cattle (D major) they stampeded
like a hailstorm (G major) on they fled (D major)
And everyone was (A major) ridin' for the lead
(D major)
Verse 9
Amid (G major) the streaks of lightnin'
there was one (D major) horse up ahead
He was tryin' to check the
leaders in their speed (A major)
It was little (D major) Joe the Wrangler with
a slick (G major) er o'er his head (D major)
He was ridin' Old Blue Rocket (A major) in the lead
(D major)
Verse 10
At last we got them millin' and
kinda (G major) quited (D major) down
And the extra guards back
to the wagon went (A major)
But there (D major) was one a missin'
we (G major) could see it at a glance (D major)
Was our little (A major) Texas stray
poor Wrangler Joe
(D major)
Verse 11
Next morning (G major) just at daybreak we
found (D major) where Rocket fell
Down in a washout twenty
feet be (A major) low
Beneath (D major) his horse his life had gone
his (G major) spung had run its knell (D major)
Was our little Texas stray (A major)
poor Wrangler Joe (D major)
(G major) (D major)
