《Strawberry Roan》歌词

[00:00:00] The Strawberry Roan - Cisco Houston/Woody Guthrie

[00:00:03] I was standin' 'round town just a spendin' my time

[00:00:07] Out of a job not earnin' a dime

[00:00:10] A feller steps up and he said I suppose

[00:00:14] You're a bronc bustin' man

[00:00:15] By the looks of your clothes

[00:00:18] You guessed me right I'm a good one I claim

[00:00:22] Do you happen to have any bad ones to tame

[00:00:26] He says I've got one and a bad one to buck

[00:00:29] At throwin' bronc riders he's had lots of luck

[00:00:33] He says this old pony ain't never been rode

[00:00:36] And the boy that gets on him is bound to get throwed

[00:00:40] I gets all excited and I ask what he pays

[00:00:43] To ride this old goat for a couple of days

[00:00:47] He offers a ten spot I says I'm your man

[00:00:50] For the bronc never lived that I couldn't fan

[00:00:54] No the bronc never lived nor he never drew breath

[00:00:57] That I couldn't ride till be starved plumb to death

[00:01:02] He says get your saddle I'll give you a chance

[00:01:06] We got in the buckboard and rode to the ranch

[00:01:09] We stayed until morning and right after chuck

[00:01:12] We goes out to see how that outlaw could buck

[00:01:17] Well down in the horse corral standing alone

[00:01:20] Was that old cavayo old strawberry roan

[00:01:24] His legs were spavined and he had pigeon toes

[00:01:28] Little pig eyes and a big roman nose

[00:01:31] Little pin ears that were crimped at the tip

[00:01:34] With a big 44 branded 'cross his left hip

[00:01:38] He's ewe necked and old with a long lower jaw

[00:01:41] You can see with one eye he's a reg'lar outlaw

[00:01:46] Well I puts on my spurs and I coils up my twine

[00:01:50] I piled my loop on him I'm sure feeling fine

[00:01:54] I gets in his middle and opens the blind

[00:01:56] I'm right in his middle to see him unwind

[00:02:02] He lowered his old neck and I think he unwound

[00:02:05] He seemed to quit living down there on the ground

[00:02:09] He went up towards the east and came down towards the west

[00:02:12] To stay in his middle I'm doin' my best

[00:02:16] I'll tell you no foolin' this pony can step

[00:02:19] But I'm still in his middle and buildin' a rep

[00:02:22] He goes up on all fours and comes down on his side

[00:02:26] I don't know what keeps him from losin' his hide

[00:02:29] He's about the worst bucker I've seen on the range

[00:02:33] He can turn on a nickel and give you some change

[00:02:36] I loses my stirrup and also my hat

[00:02:40] I starts pulling leather I'm blind as a bat

[00:02:43] With a big forward jump he goes up on high

[00:02:46] Leaves me sittin' on nothin' way up in the sky

[00:02:50] I turns over twice and I comes back to earth

[00:02:53] I lights in a cussin' the day of his birth

[00:02:58] I know there is ponies I'm unable to ride

[00:03:01] Some are still living they haven't all died

[00:03:04] I'll bet all my money the man ain't alive

[00:03:08] That can stay with old strawberry when he makes his high dive
