Verse 1
(C major) Well, I was laying round town
just a (G major) -spending my time
Out of a job and not making (C major) a dime
When a feller steps up and (F major) he says,
I suppose you're (G major) a bronc riding man
by the looks (C major) of your clothes
You guessed me just right,
(G major) I'm a good one, I claims
Do you happen to have
any bad ones (C major) to tame?
He says that he hasn't
a bad (F major) one to buck,
And for throw (G major) in' good riders
he's had lots of (C major) luck.
Well, it's, that Straw (G major) berry Roan, (C major)
(F major) Oh, that Strawberry (C major) Roan.
They say he's (F major) a coyote
(C major) that's never been rowed,
The (F major) man that gets on him
is (C major) bound to be throwed.
Get off (G major) that Strawberry Roan. (C major)
Well I gets all excited and
asks (G major) what he pays
To ride this old pony for a couple of (C major) days
He offers a ten spot, I (F major) am your man
For a bronc (G major) never lived
that I could (C major) n't fan
Well he says get your saddle
and (G major) I'll give you a chance
So I gets in the buckboard,
we drives (C major) to the ranch
I stays until mornin'
and right (F major) after chuck
I steps (G major) out to see if this outlaw can (C major) balk
Well, it's oh, that Strawberry Roan,
oh, (F major) that Strawberry Roan (C major)
They say (F major) he's a coyote
that's (C major) never been rode
The man (F major) that gets on him
is (C major) bound to be throwed
Get (G major) off that Strawberry Roan (C major)
Down in the corral, stand (G major) in' alone,
Is this old cabalot a (C major) strawberry roan?
His legs is all spab
and he (F major) has pigeon toes,
Two (G major) little pig eyes and a (C major) big Roman nose,
Little pin ears that touched (G major) at the tip,
And a big forty -four run on (C major) his left hip.
He's ewe -necked and old
with (F major) a long lower jaw,
I (G major) could see with one eye
he was a regular outlaw. (C major)
Well, it's oh, that Strawberry Roan,
oh, (F major) that Strawberry (C major) Roan
They say (F major) he's a coyote
that's (C major) never been rowed
The (F major) man that gets on him
is bound (C major) to be throwed
Get (G major) off that Strawberry Roan (C major)
I buckle on my spurs, I'm sure (G major) feeling fine
I picks up my hat and curls (C major) up my twine
I piles my rope on him,
and will (F major) I know then
That (G major) afore I get rode,
I've sure (C major) earned my ten
I gets the blinds on him, it sure (G major) is a fight
Next comes my old saddle,
and I screws (C major) her on tight
Then I steps unto him,
and raises (F major) the blinds
I'm right (G major) in his middle to
see him un (C major) wind
Well, it's, that Strawberry Roan,
oh, (F major) that Strawberry Roan (C major)
They say (F major) he's a coyote (C major)
that's never been rode
The man (F major) that gets on him
is (C major) bound to be throwed
Get off (G major) that Strawberry Roan (C major)
He bowed his old neck,
and I (G major) guess he's unwound
For he seemed to quit
living down (C major) there on the ground
He went up towards the east
and come (F major) down towards the west
To stay (G major) in his middle,
I'm sure doin' (C major) my best
He sure is frog -walkin',
he (G major) heaves a big sigh
He only lacks wings to be (C major) on the fly
He turns his old belly right up (F major) to the sun
He sure (G major) is a sunfishin' son of a (C major) gun
Well, it's oh, that Strawberry Rome
It's (F major) oh, that Strawberry (C major) Rome
They say (F major) he's a chaios
that's (C major) never been rode
The man (F major) that gets on (C major) him
is bound to be throwed
Get (G major) throwed by that strawberry roam (C major)
He's about the worst bucker
I've seen (G major) on the range
He can turn on a nickel
and give you the change
(C major) And when he's a -buckin'
he squeals (F major) like a shoot
I tell (G major) you that pony has sure got (C major) my goat
I claims that no foolin'
that (G major) outlaw can step
But I'm still in his middle
and a (C major) -buildin' a rep
He hits on all fours
and he turns on his (F major) side
I don't (G major) see what keeps him
from losing his (C major) hide
Well, it's oh, that strawberry roam
It's (F major) oh, that strawberry roam (C major)
They say (F major) he's a coyote
that's (C major) never been roamed
The (F major) man that gets on (C major) him
is bound to be throwed
Be throwed by that straw (G major) berry roam (C major)
Well, I loses my stirrup an (G major) d also my hat
I'm clawin' at leather as blind (C major) as a bat
With a phenomenal jump he
goes (F major) up on high
Leaves me sittin' (G major) on nothin'
up there (C major) in the sky
Well, I turned over an
(G major) d comes back to earth
And I likes him to cussin'
the day (C major) of his birth
And I knows their old ponies
are not able (F major) to ride
There's (G major) some of them left
and they haven't all died (C major)
Well, it's oh, that straw (G major) berry roam (C major)
It's oh, (F major) that strawberry roam
(C major) They say he's a coyote
that's never been (C major) roamed
The man (F major) that gets on him
is (C major) bound to be throwed
Be (G major) throwed by that strawberry roam (C major)
