Lyrics of The Strawberry Roan by Marty Robbins
verse
I was hangin' 'round town, just spendin' my time
Out of a job, not earnin' a dime
A feller steps up and he said, "I suppose
You're a bronc fighter from the looks of your clothes"
verse
"You figures me right, I'm a good one", I claim
"Do you happen to have any bad ones to tame?"
Said he's got one, a bad one to buck
For throwin' good riders, he's had lots of luck
verse
I gets all het up and I ask what he pays
To ride this old nag for a couple of days
He offered me ten, I said, "I'm your man
A bronc never lived that I couldn't span"
verse
He said, "Get your saddle, I'll give you a chance"
In his buckboard we hopped and he drives to the ranch
I stayed until mornin' and right after chuck
I stepped out to see if this outlaw can buck
verse
Down in the horse corral, standin' alone
Is an old Caballo, a Strawberry Roan
His legs are all spavined, he's got pigeon toes
Little pig eyes and a big Roman nose
verse
Little pin ears that touched at the tip
A big 44 brand was on his left hip
U-necked and old with a long, lower jaw
I could see with one eye, he's a regular outlaw
verse
I gets the blinds on him and it sure is a fright
Next comes the saddle and I screws it down tight
Then I steps on him and I raises the blinds
Get out the way boys, he's gonna unwind
verse
He sure is a frog-walker, he heaves a big sigh
He only lacks wings for to be on the fly
He turns his old belly right up to the sun
He sure is a sun-fishin' son of a gun
verse
He's about the worst bucker I've seen on the range
He'll turn on a nickel and give you some change
He hits on all fours and goes up on high
Leaves me a spinnin' up there in the sky
verse
I turns over twice and I comes back to earth
I lights in a cussin' the day of his birth
I know there are ponies that I cannot ride
There's some of them left, they haven't all died
outro
I'll bet all my money, the man ain't alive
That'll stay with Old Strawberry when he makes his high dive
Writer(s): Curley Fletcher, Nathaniel H. Vincent, Fred Howard
