[Verse]
C                              G7
I was hanging around town just spending my time
                 C
Out of a job not earning a dime
                         F
A feller steps up and he said I suppose
G7                          C
You're a bronc fighter from looks of your clothes
                           G7
You figures me right I'm a good one I claim
                          C
Do you happen to have any bad ones to tame
                    F
Said he's got one a bad one to buck
   G7                                    C
At throwing good riders he's had lots of luck

[Verse]
                            G7
I gets all het up and I ask what he pays
                           C
To ride this old nag for a couple of days
                    F
He offered me ten I said I'm your man
G7                         C
A bronc never lived that I couldn't fan
                             G7
He said get your saddle I'll give you a chance
                                  C
In his buckboard we hopped and he drives to the ranch
                          F
I stayed till morning and right after chuck
  G7                                    C
I stepped out to see if this outlaw can buck

[Verse]
                         G7
Down in the horse corral standing alone
                    C
Is an old Caballo a Strawberry Roan
                               F
His legs are all spavined he's got pigeon toes
G7                        C
Little pig eyes and a big Roman nose
                     G7
Little pin ears that touched at the tip
                          C
A big 44 brand was on his left hip
                        F
U-necked and old with a long lower jaw
  G7                                    C
I could see with one eye he's a regular outlaw

[Verse]
                                G7
I gets the blinds on 'im and it sure is a fright
                            C
Next comes the saddle and I screws it down tight
                          F
Then I steps on 'im and I raises the blinds
G7                          C
Get outta the way boys he's gonna unwind
                             G7
He sure is a broad walker he heaves a big sigh
                              C
He only likes wings for to be on the fly
                             F
He turns his old belly right up to the sun
   G7                             C
He sure is a sun-fishing son-of-a-gun

[Verse]
                                 G7
He's about the worst bucker I've seen on the range
                           C
He'll turn on a nickel and give you some change
                         F
He hits on all fours and goes up on high
G7                      C
Leaves me a spinning up there in the sky
                               G7
I turns over twice and I comes back to earth
                          C
I lights in a cussing the day of his birth
                               F
I know there are ponies that I cannot ride
G7                                         C
There's some of them left they haven't all died

[Outro]
                              G7
I'll bet all my money the man ain't alive

That'll stay with Old Strawberry
                       C
When he makes his high dive
