Strawberry Roan - Dick Curless

I was hangin' around town just spendin' my time

I was out of a job not earnin' a dime

When a feller steps up and he says i suppose

You're a bronc rider by the looks of your clothes

Well i tell here's my hand a good one i claim

Have you got any broncos you want me to tame

Then he says he's got one that's a bad one to buck

And throwing top riders he's had lots of luck

Then i get so excited and then asked what he pays

For a ride this old buck skin a couple of days

And he offered me ten and i says i'm your guy

For there's no bronc alive this ol' cowhand can't ride

So he says get your saddle i'll give you a chance

And i gets in his buckboard we drive to the ranch

And i stays until morning and right after chuck

I stepped out just to see if this old neck would buck

Down there in the corral a standing alone

Was this top old horseflash called strawberry roan

So i tightens my spurs and i climbs on his back

And he jumps and he snords and start ballin' a jack

Then he bold his old neck gave a jump and unwound

And he seemed to quit livin' down here on the ground

He's about the worst bucker i've seen on the range

He can turn on a nickel and give you some change

I have rolled 'em from texas on up to montan

I have broke the worst broncos in all of this land

But when he'd left the ground and he gave a big sigh

The only like wings to be able to fly

Then he turned on his ol' belly right up to the sun

For he sure was a rib snortin' son of a gun

And i'll bet all my dough everything that i own

There's no man alive can ride strawberry roan
