Texas Cannonball chords by Johnny Bond
Verse 1
A
D
While traveling down in Texas
by the sleepy Rio Grande
G
A
I stopped to see a pal I knew
just to lend him a helping hand
D
He says, I've got a pony
out yonder in the stall
G
A
I'll give you a hundred bucks
D
to ride old Texas Cannonball
Now I gets all insulted
G
cause I still got my pride
A
I says, won't cost you a dog, don't sin,
D
I'll settle for the ride.
He goes and gets the saddle,
G
and on his back I crawl.
A
Let's go, you mangy cayuse,
you Texas cannonball.
D
Now at first he hardly quivered,
G
just looked around so slow.
A
I'm a -diggin', spursin', shoutin',
D
come on, let's start the show.
He made one jump like lightning,
G
and he headed for his stall.
A
I went right through the barn door
on old Texas Cannonball.
D
A
D
Now the cowboys all was shouting,
G
Jump for your life, they cried.
A
I couldn't have jumped if
I'd have wanted to,
D
I might as well didn't I?
I'm a -hanging on to leather,
G
That day I gave my all.
A
I got more than I bargained for
on the Texas Cannonball.
D
Now he jumped the fence,
he stumbled,
G
he rolled along the ground.
A
I ate a ton of topsoil
D
while he was upside down.
But still I kept the saddle,
just how I can't recall.
G
A
I just know that I rode him,
old Texas Cannonball.
D
A
D
Now I wound up on a stretcher,
G
they carried me out that day
A
But one thing's sure,
that pony won't be eatin' no more hay
D
Now when you come to see me,
walk quietly down the hall
G
A
Just ask for the old cowpoke
D
who rode the Texas Cannonball
