I was hanging round town, just my time Being out of a job and not earning a A fellow walks up and he says, "I You're a rider, from the looks of your clothes"
"Well, you figured me right and I'm a good one, I 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 this, here's one pony that's never been rode And the man that on him is bound to get thrown I got all heated up and I what he'd pay To ride old nag for a couple of days
Well, he me ten and I say, "I'm your man For the isn't living that I couldn't fan" He says, "Get your saddle, I'll you the chance" So we hopped in his and rode to his ranch
Out in the horse corral, standing Is an old Cavallo, a strawberry Little pin ears touch at the tip A big 44 upon his left hip
He was all round and he had pigeon toes Little pig eyes and a big Roman U-necked and old, with a lower jaw You tell at a glance, he's a regular outlaw
Well, I on my spurs and I'm sure feeling fine I pull down my hat and I up my twine my loop on him and well, I know then Before he gets rode, I'll earn my ten
I get the blinds on him with a terrible Next comes the and I cinch him up tight I step on him and raise up the blinds "Get out of the way, boys, bound to unwind"
Well, I threw him his and I'll say he unwound He seemed to quit living here on the ground Went up in the and come down in the west I'm up on him and doing my best
He was a frog-walker, he heaved a big sigh He lacked wings for to be on the fly Turned his old right up to the sun He sure was a sun son of a gun
He's the worst bucker I've seen on the range He could on a nickel and give you some change I both my stirrups and also my hat I'm for leather and blind as a bat
He come down on all fours and he went up on And he me a-spinning up there in the sky Turned over twice and I down to the earth And I lit cussing the day of his birth
Now I know ponies that I cannot ride There's some of living, they haven't all died But I'll bet my money no man alive Who can stay with old Strawberry when he makes his high
