Verse 1
Little (D major) Joe the Wrangler
Little 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 (D major) camp
Just a little Texas tray
(A major) And nothing more (D major)
Was late in the evening
when he rode (G major) into our camp (D major)
On a little Texas pony he called (A major) Chaw
With his broken (D major) shoes and overalls,
a tougher (G major) looking kid (D major)
You'd never in your life (A major) before had (D major) saw
His saddle (G major) was a Texas cag
built many (D major) years ago
An okay spur on one foot lightly swung (A major)
With his pack roll (D major) in a cotton sack
so loosely (G major) tied behind
(D major) In a canteen from his
saddle (A major) horn was slung (D major)
He said he had to leave his home,
(G major) his poor head, maybe twice
(D major) His new ma whipped him every day or two (A major)
So he saddled (D major) up old John one night
and lit (G major) a chug this way
(D major) He said he'd try to paddle (A major) his own canoe
(D major) 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 (A major) cow
So the boss, (D major) cut him out a mount
and kindly (G major) put him on (D major)
He's sort of like this little (A major) kid somehow
(D major) He learned to wrangle horses
And (G major) learned to know them all (D major)
And get them any day break if (A major) he could
And to trail (D major) the old chuck wagon
And (G major) always hitch the team
(D major) And help the cook each even (A major) ing,
Russell would (D major)
We had hardly (G major) reached Topekos,
the (D major) weather, was fine
We were camped out on the south side
in a draw (A major)
When a north (D major) ern comest blowin'
and we (G major) doubled up our guards
(D major) It took every one of us (A major) to hold them in (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 (G major) hailstorm on they fled
(D major) And everyone was (A major) riding for the lead (D major)
Amid (G major) st the shrieks of lightning,
there was one (D major) horse up ahead
He was trying 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 riding old Blue Rocket (A major) in the lead (D major)
At last we got them millin'
and kinda (G major) quieted down (D major)
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 Trape
or Wrangler Joe (D major)
Next morn (G major) ing just at daybreak
We found (D major) where Rocket fell
Down in a washout twenty
feet below (A major)
Beneath (D major) his horse his life was gone
His spur (G major) hat wrong, it's (D major) Nell,
was our little Texas Tray, (A major)
poor Rangler Joe. (D major)
(G major) (D major)
