[00:00:00] Tie A Knot In The Devil's Tail - Chris Ledoux

[00:00:06] Way up high

[00:00:07] In the Sierra peaks

[00:00:08] Where the yellow jack pines grow tall

[00:00:10] Old Sandy Bob and

[00:00:12] Buster Jiggs had a roundup camp last fall

[00:00:15] Oh they'd taken the horses and

[00:00:17] The runnin' irons

[00:00:18] And may be a dog or two

[00:00:20] And they swore

[00:00:21] They'd brand all long ear calves that came within their view

[00:00:25] And any old doggie that flapped long ears and

[00:00:27] Didn't brush up by day

[00:00:29] Got his long ears whittled and

[00:00:31] His old hid scorched in a most artistic way

[00:00:34] Now one fine day old

[00:00:36] Sandy Bob

[00:00:37] He throwed his easy go down

[00:00:39] Well I'm sick of the smell of this here burnin'

[00:00:41] Hair and allows I'm a goin' to town

[00:00:50] So they saddles up and

[00:00:51] They hits 'em a lope for

[00:00:52] It weren't no sign of a ride

[00:00:55] And them was the days when a buckaroo

[00:00:57] Could oil up his insides

[00:00:59] Oh they starts her off at Kentucky Bar

[00:01:02] At the head of a whiskey row

[00:01:04] And they winds up down at the depot hou

[00:01:06] Se some forty drinks below

[00:01:09] And then sets up and

[00:01:10] Turns around

[00:01:11] And goes her the other way

[00:01:13] And to tell you the god forsaken truth them boys

[00:01:16] Got stewed that day

[00:01:18] As they was a ridin' back to camp

[00:01:21] A packin' a pretty good load

[00:01:23] Well who should they meet

[00:01:24] But the devil himself a prancin' down the road

[00:01:34] Say he you ornery cowboy skunks

[00:01:36] You better hunt your holes

[00:01:39] For I've come up from hells Rim

[00:01:41] Rock to gather in your souls

[00:01:43] Says Sandy Bob old devil be d**ned

[00:01:46] We boys is kinda tight

[00:01:48] And ya ain't gonna get no cowboy souls

[00:01:51] Without one hell of a fight

[00:01:53] So Snady Bob punched a hole in his rope

[00:01:55] And he swang her straight and true

[00:01:58] And he lapped it onto the devils' horns

[00:02:00] And he taken his dallies too

[00:02:03] Now Buster Jiggs was a reita man

[00:02:05] With his gut line coiled up neat

[00:02:07] So he shakes her out and he built him

[00:02:10] A loop and he lassoed up the devil's hind feet

[00:02:18] Well they stretched him out

[00:02:19] And they tailed him down

[00:02:20] While the iron was gettin' hot

[00:02:23] And they cropped

[00:02:23] And swallow forked both his ears

[00:02:25] And they branded him up a lot

[00:02:28] They pruned him up whit a dehorning saw

[00:02:30] And they knotted his tail for a joke

[00:02:32] And then rode off and left him

[00:02:35] There neck to a blackjack oak

[00:02:38] So if your ever up high in the

[00:02:40] Sierra peaks

[00:02:42] And you hear one hell of a wail

[00:02:46] You'll know

[00:02:46] It's that devil a bellerin' about them knots tied in his tail
