THE STRAWBERRY ROAN

I’LL TELL YOU A STORY
A GOOD ONE I OWN
OF A BUCKIN’ OLD CAYUSE
THE STRAWBERRY ROAN

I WAS HANGIN’ AROUND TOWN
JUST SPENDIN’ MY TIME
OUT OF A JOB
AND NOT MAKIN’ A DIME

WHEN A STRANGER STEPS UP
AND HE SAYS, “I SUPPOSE
YOU’RE A BRONC RIDER,
FROM THE LOOKS OF YOUR CLOTHES”

SO I SAYS, “GUESS YOU’RE RIGHT,
THERE’S NONE I CAN’T TAME
IF IT’S RIDIN’ WILD PONIES,
THAT’S MY MIDDLE NAME”

WELL HE SAYS, “GUESS AGAIN
THERE’S ONE HORSE THAT I OWN,
YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD OF HIM,
THE STRAWBERRY ROAN”

SO I GETS ALL HET UP
AND I ASK WHAT HE PAYS
IF I RIDES THIS OLD PONY
A COUPLE OF DAYS

THEN HE OFFERS A TEN SPOT
I SAID, “I’M YOUR MAN,
FOR THE BRONC NEVER LIVED
THAT I COULDN’T FAN”

SO HE SAYS, “C’MON BUD,
I’LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE”
IN THE BUCKBOARD WE HOPS
AND WE RIDES TO THE RANCH

OH THAT STRAWBERRY ROAN
OH THAT STRAWBERRY ROAN
HE SAYS HE’S THE CAYUSE
THAT’S NEVER BEEN RODE

THE GUY THAT GETS ON HIM
IS BOUND TO BE THROW'D
THROW'D OFF OF THAT STRAWBERRY ROAN

I LOOKS IN THE CORRAL
AND THERE ALL ALONE
IS THIS SLEEPY OLD CAYUSE
THE STRAWBERRY ROAN

HE’S GOT SPITTIN’ LEGS
AND SMALL PIGEON TOES
AND A PAIR OF PIG EYES
AND A LONG ROMAN NOSE

HE’S GOT LITTLE THIN EARS
THEY’RE SPLIT AT THE TIPS
IN THE MIDDLE HE’S LEAN
BUT WIDE AT THE HIPS

SO I PUTS ON MY SPURS
AND I COILS UP MY TWINE
AND I SAYS TO THE STRANGER,
“THAT TEN SPOT IS MINE”
