Somewhere on the Prairie, a yellow runs free Runnin' through the brush, down through the coolies not far behind him, a cowboy rides along He's gonna try to catch him and him for his own
The chase goes on all morning and into the day The cowboy changes horses, he along the way The stud is growin' weaker, now and gettin' short of He runs into the trap corral, the shuts him in
The yellow stud with wild eye, the feared man Finally face to face in the hot and dusty sand The battle and rages on beneath the burning sun Cowboy tried but couldn't ride yellow outlaw stud
So he sold him to a Rodeo and it throughout the land The of this yellow stud, the baddest of the bad And one day in Cheyenne we knew it had to come The best of all Bronc riders, he drew yellow stud
The gate flew open and the stud, he bailed out high An explosion of horse seemed to fill the sky The stud kept getting and thrashing up the earth Cowboy a stirrup, crashed into the dirt
So violently the stud had bucked that he slipped and As he went down back his backbone snapped the stud lay still
Well, his gathered 'round him, I heard one of 'em say There'll never be another like the one that died today But out there on the Prairie there's a mare with blood And a runs close behind her, a yellow outlaw stud
