Strawberry Roan chords by Ed McCurdy
Verse 1
C
Well, I was laying round town
G
just a -spending my time
C
Out of a job and not making a dime
F
When a feller steps up and he says,
G
I suppose you're a bronc riding man
C
by the looks of your clothes
You guessed me just right,
G
I'm a good one, I claims
Do you happen to have
C
any bad ones to tame?
He says that he hasn't
F
a bad one to buck,
G
And for throwin' good riders
C
he's had lots of luck.
G
C
Well, it's, that Strawberry Roan,
F
C
Oh, that Strawberry Roan.
F
They say he's a coyote
C
that's never been rowed,
F
The man that gets on him
C
is bound to be throwed.
G
C
Get off that Strawberry Roan.
Well I gets all excited and
G
asks what he pays
C
To ride this old pony for a couple of days
F
He offers a ten spot, I am your man
G
For a bronc never lived
C
that I couldn't fan
Well he says get your saddle
G
and I'll give you a chance
So I gets in the buckboard,
C
we drives to the ranch
I stays until mornin'
F
and right after chuck
G
C
I steps out to see if this outlaw can balk
Well, it's oh, that Strawberry Roan,
F
C

F
They say he's a coyote
C
that's never been rode

The man that gets on him
C

G
C
Get off that Strawberry Roan
G
Down in the corral, standin' alone,
C
Is this old cabalot a strawberry roan?
His legs is all spab
F
and he has pigeon toes,
G
C
Two little pig eyes and a big Roman nose,
G
Little pin ears that touched at the tip,
C
And a big forty -four run on his left hip.
He's ewe -necked and old
F
with a long lower jaw,
G
I could see with one eye
C
he was a regular outlaw.
Well, it's oh, that Strawberry Roan,
F
C

They say he's a coyote
C
that's never been rowed

G
C
Get off that Strawberry Roan
G
I buckle on my spurs, I'm sure feeling fine
C
I picks up my hat and curls up my twine
I piles my rope on him,
F
and will I know then
G
That afore I get rode,
C
I've sure earned my ten
G
I gets the blinds on him, it sure is a fight
Next comes my old saddle,
C
and I screws her on tight
Then I steps unto him,
F
and raises the blinds
G
I'm right in his middle to
C
see him unwind
Well, it's, that Strawberry Roan,
F
C
oh, that Strawberry Roan
F
C
They say he's a coyote
that's never been rode
F
The man that gets on him
C

G
C
Get off that Strawberry Roan
He bowed his old neck,
G
and I guess he's unwound
For he seemed to quit
C
living down there on the ground
He went up towards the east
F
and come down towards the west
G
To stay in his middle,
C
I'm sure doin' my best
He sure is frog -walkin',
G
he heaves a big sigh
C
He only lacks wings to be on the fly
F
He turns his old belly right up to the sun
G
C
He sure is a sunfishin' son of a gun
Well, it's oh, that Strawberry Rome
F
C
It's oh, that Strawberry Rome
F
They say he's a chaios
C
that's never been rode
F
C
The man that gets on him
is bound to be throwed
G
C
Get throwed by that strawberry roam
He's about the worst bucker
G
I've seen on the range
He can turn on a nickel
and give you the change
C
And when he's a -buckin'
F
he squeals like a shoot
G
C
I tell you that pony has sure got my goat
I claims that no foolin'
G
that outlaw can step
But I'm still in his middle
C
and a -buildin' a rep
He hits on all fours
F
and he turns on his side
G
I don't see what keeps him
C
from losing his hide
Well, it's oh, that strawberry roam
F
C
It's oh, that strawberry roam
F
They say he's a coyote
C
that's never been roamed
F
C
The man that gets on him
is bound to be throwed
G
C
Be throwed by that strawberry roam
G
Well, I loses my stirrup and also my hat
C
I'm clawin' at leather as blind as a bat
With a phenomenal jump he
F
goes up on high
G
Leaves me sittin' on nothin'
C
up there in the sky
Well, I turned over an
G
d comes back to earth
And I likes him to cussin'
C
the day of his birth
And I knows their old ponies
F
are not able to ride
G
There's some of them left
C
and they haven't all died
G
C
Well, it's oh, that strawberry roam

It's oh, that strawberry roam
