I was hanging town, just spending my time Being out of a job and not a dime A fellow walks up and he says, "I You're a bronc rider, the looks of your clothes"
"Well, you figured me and I'm a good one, I claim Would you happen to any outlaws to tame?" He says, "I've got one and a good one to At throwing top riders, had lots of luck"
He says this, here's one pony that's never rode And the man that gets on him is to get thrown I got all heated up and I asked what pay To ride old nag for a couple of days
Well, he offered me ten and I say, "I'm man For the bronc living that I couldn't fan" He says, "Get your saddle, give you the chance" So we in his buckboard and rode to his ranch
Out in the corral, standing alone Is an old Cavallo, a strawberry pin ears that touch at the tip A big 44 brand his left hip
He was spavined all round and he had toes Little pig eyes and a big Roman U-necked and old, a long lower jaw You could tell at a glance, he's a regular
Well, I buckle on my spurs and I'm 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 sure my ten
I get the blinds on him with a fight Next comes the and I cinch him up tight I step on him and raise up the blinds "Get out of the way, boys, he's to unwind"
Well, I him his head and I'll say he unwound He seemed to quit living down on the ground Went up in the east and come in the west I'm sitting up on him and my best
He sure was a frog-walker, he heaved a big He only wings for to be on the fly his old belly right up to the sun He sure was a sun son of a gun
He's about the worst bucker I've seen on the He could turn on a and give you some change I lost both my and also my hat I'm for leather and blind as a bat
He come down on all fours and he up on high And he left me a-spinning up 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 them living, haven't all died But I'll bet my money no man alive Who can stay with old Strawberry he makes his high dive
