Verse 1
D
I was hangin' 'round town,
A7
just spendin' my time
D
Out of a job, not earnin' a dime
G
A feller steps up and he said, "I suppose
A7
You're a bronc fighter
from looks of your clothes."
D
"You figures me right,
A7
I'm a good one." I claim
"Do you happen to have any
D
bad ones to tame?"
G
Said "He's got one, a bad one to buck
A7
For throwin' good riders,
D
he's had lots of luck."

Verse 2
D
A7
I gets all het up and I ask what he pays
D
To ride this old nag for a couple of days
G
He offered me ten; I said, "I'm your man
A7
A bronc never lived that I couldn't span."
D
He said: "Get your saddle,
A7
I'll give you a chance"
In his buckboard we hopped
D
and he drives to the ranch
G
I stayed 'til mornin' and right after chuck
A7
D
I stepped out to see if this outlaw can buck
D
Verse 3
D
A7
Down in the horse corral standin' alone
D
Is an old Caballo, a Strawberry Roan
His legs are all spavined,
G
he's got pigeon toes
A7
Little pig eyes and a big Roman nose
D
A7
Little pin ears that touched at the tip
D
A big 44 brand was on his left hip
G
U-necked and old, with a long, lower jaw
A7
I could see with one eye,
D
he's a regular outlaw
D
Verse 4
D
A7
I gets the blinds on 'im and it sure is a fright
Next comes the saddle
D
and I screws it down tight
G
Then I steps on 'im and I raises the blinds
A7
Get outta the way boys, he's gonna unwind
D
He sure is a frog-walker,
A7
he heaves a big sigh
D
He only lacks wings, for to be on the fly
G
He turns his old belly right up to the sun
A7
D
He sure is a sun-fishin', son-of-a-gun
D
Verse 5
D
He's about the worst bucker
A7
I've seen on the range
He'll turn on a Nickel
D
and give you some change
G
He hits on all fours and goes up on high
A7
Leaves me a spinnin' up there in the sky
D
A7
I turns over twice and I comes back to earth
D
I lights in a cussin' the day of his birth
G
I know there are ponies that I cannot ride
A7
There's some of them left,
they haven't all died
D
A7
I'll bet all my money, the man ain't alive
That'll stay with Old Strawberry
D
When he makes his high dive
