I was hanging town, just spending my time Being out of a job and not earning a A walks up and he says, "I suppose a bronc rider, from the looks of your clothes"
"Well, you me right and I'm a good one, I claim Would you to have any outlaws to tame?" He says, "I've got one and a good one to At top riders, he's had lots of luck"
He says this, here's one pony never been rode And the man that gets on him is bound to get I got all heated up and I asked he'd pay To ride old nag for a couple of days
