1
Old Red was one of the orniest yet
2
I've seen at the big rodeo
3
He'll bite you and kick you and stomp out your life
4
Old Red had never been rode
5
Meaner than sin, wild as the wind
6
That blew on the Montana plains
7
Old Red was one of the last of his breed
8
And wasn't about to be tamed
9
From Idaho, a young cowboy came
10
To ride in the big rodeo
11
The young cowboy's name was Billy McLean
12
And Billy had never been thrown
13
The greatest desire filled the young Billy's heart
14
To ride this old outlaw called Red
15
He drew him one day and I heard Billy say
16
"I'll ride him or drop over dead"
17
Old Red was wicked way down in the shoot
18
He was kicking, stomping about
19
Billy climbed into the saddle with ease
20
Then he yelled turn him loose let us out
21
Old Red came out with his head on the ground
22
His back hooves were touching his nose
23
Trying to get rid of the man on his back
24
But the man went wherever he goes
25
Billy was racking Old Red with his spurs
26
From his tail to the tip of his chin
27
He was doing right well but Billy could tell
28
This outlaw would never give in
29
Old Red was runnin' straight for the fence
30
Suddenly stopping and then
31
He reared on his hind legs then fell on his back
32
Taking poor Billy with him
33
There was a hush in the crowd and they knew
34
This would be Billies last ride
35
The saddle horn crushed Billies chest when they fell
36
And under Old Red Billy died
37
Old Red lay still, no more would he move
38
The cowboys that seen it could tell
39
In trying to throw Billy of off his back
40
Old Red broke his neck when he fell
41
Out in the west, there's they place where they rest
42
This cowboy that never was thrown
43
And one foot away resting there 'neath the clay
44
Is the outlaw that never was rode
Old Red
