The Strawberry Roan - Marty Robbins

[00:00.0]The Strawberry Roan - Marty Robbins
[00:04.29]I was hangin' around town just spendin' my time
[00:09.14]Out of a job not earnin' a dime
[00:13.28]A feller steps up and he said I suppose
[00:17.64]You're a bronc fighter from the looks of your clothes
[00:21.98]You figures me right I'm a good one I claim
[00:26.11]Do you happen to have any bad ones to tame
[00:30.64]Said he's got one a bad one to buck
[00:35.0]For throwin' good riders he's had lots of luck
[00:42.38]I gets all het up and I ask what he pays
[00:46.72]To ride this old nag for a couple of days
[00:51.12]He offered me ten I said I'm your man
[00:55.54]A bronc never lived that I couldn't fan
[00:59.73]He said get your saddle I'll give you a chance
[01:03.8]In his buckboard we hops
[01:05.99]And he drives to the ranch
[01:08.05]I stayed until mornin' and right after chuck
[01:12.51]I stepped out to see if this outlaw can buck
[01:20.45]Down in the horse corral standin' alone
[01:24.41]Is an old caballo a strawberry roan
[01:28.64]His legs are all spavined he's got pigeon toes
[01:33.259995]Little pig eyes and a big roman nose
[01:37.69]Little pin ears that touch at the tip
[01:41.86]A big 44 brand was on his left hip
[01:46.07]U-necked and old with a long lower jaw
[01:50.11]I could see with one eye he's a regular outlaw
[01:57.55]I gets the blinds on I'm and it sure is a fright
[02:02.25]Next comes the saddle and I screws it down tight
[02:06.3]Then I steps on I'm and I raises the blinds
[02:10.61]Get out the way boys he's gonna unwind
[02:14.72]He sure is a frog-walker he heaves a big sigh
[02:19.18]He only lacks wings for to be on the fly
[02:23.37]He turns his old belly right up to the sun
[02:27.72]He sure is a sun-fishin' son-of-a-gun
[02:34.99]He's about the worst bucker
[02:37.0]I've seen on the range
[02:39.37]He'll turn on a nickel and give you some change
[02:43.43]He hits on all fours and goes up on high
[02:48.15]Leaves me a spinnin' up there in the sky
[02:52.07]I turns over twice and I comes back to earth
[02:56.43]I lights in the cussin' the day of his birth
[03:00.55]I know there are ponies that I cannot ride
[03:04.98]There's some of them left they haven't all died
[03:09.11]I'll bet all my money
[03:11.62]The man ain't alive
[03:13.33]That'll stay with old strawberry
[03:15.6]When he makes his high dive
