Generate meaning
1
I was hangin' around town, just spendin' my time
2
Out of a job, not earnin' a dime
3
A feller steps up and he said, "I suppose
4
You're a bronc fighter from the looks of your clothes"
5
"You figures me right, I'm a good one", I claim
6
"Do you happen to have any bad ones to tame?"
7
Said, "He's got one, a bad one to buck
8
For throwin' good riders, he's had lots of luck"
9
I gets all het up and I ask what he pays
10
To ride this old nag for a couple of days
11
He offered me ten, I said, "I'm your man
12
A bronc never lived that I couldn't fan"
13
He said, "Get your saddle, I'll give you a chance"
14
In his buckboard we hops and he drives to the ranch
15
I stayed until mornin' and right after chuck
16
I stepped out to see if this outlaw can buck
17
Down in the horse corral, standin' alone
18
Is an old Caballo, a Strawberry Roan
19
His legs are all spavined, he's got pigeon toes
20
Little pig eyes and a big Roman nose
21
Little pin ears that touch at the tip
22
A big 44 brand was on his left hip
23
U-necked and old with a long, lower jaw
24
I could see with one eye, he's a regular outlaw
25
I gets the blinds on 'im and it sure is a fright
26
Next comes the saddle and I screws it down tight
27
Then I steps on 'im and I raises the blinds
28
Get out the way boys, he's gonna unwind
29
He sure is a frog-walker, he heaves a big sigh
30
He only lacks wings for to be on the fly
31
He turns his old belly right up to the sun
32
He sure is a sun-fishin', son-of-a-gun
33
He's about the worst bucker I've seen on the range
34
He'll turn on a Nickel and give you some change
35
He hits on all fours and goes up on high
36
Leaves me a spinnin' up there in the sky
37
I turns over twice and I comes back to earth
38
I lights in the cussin' the day of his birth
39
I know there are ponies that I cannot ride
40
There's some of them left, they haven't all died
41
I'll bet all my money
42
The man ain't alive
43
That'll stay with Old Strawberry
44
When he makes his high dive
