《Strawberry Roan(Album Version)》歌词

[00:03:44] Strawberry Roan (Album Version) - Michael Martin Murphey

[00:03:44] I was hanging round town, just spending my time

[00:03:44] Being out of a job and not earning a dime

[00:03:44] A fellow walks up, and he says, "I suppose

[00:03:44] You're a bronc rider, from the looks of your clothes"

[00:03:44] "Well, you figured me right, and I'm a good one, I claim

[00:03:44] Would you happen to have any outlaws to tame?"

[00:03:44] He says, "I've got one and a good one to buck

[00:03:44] At throwing top riders, he's had lots of luck"

[00:03:44] He says this here's one pony that's never been rode

[00:03:44] And the man that gets on him is bound to get throwed

[00:03:44] I got all heat up and I asked what he'd pay

[00:03:44] To ride this old nag for a couple of days

[00:03:44] Well, he offered me ten, and I says, "I'm your man

[00:03:44] For the bronc isn't living that I couldn't fan"

[00:03:44] He says, "Get your saddle, I'll give you the chance"

[00:03:44] So we hopped in his buckboard and rode to his ranch

[00:03:44] Out in the horse corral, standing alone

[00:03:44] Is an old cavallo, a strawberry roan

[00:03:44] Little pin ears that touch at the tip

[00:03:44] A big 44 brand upon his left hip

[00:03:44] He was spavined all round, and he had pigeon toes

[00:03:44] Little pig eyes and a big roman nose

[00:03:44] U-necked and old, with a long lower jaw

[00:03:44] You could tell at a glance he's a regular outlaw

[00:03:44] Well, I buckle on my spurs, and I'm sure feeling fine

[00:03:44] I pull down my hat and I pick up my twine

[00:03:44] Throw my loop on him and well I know then

[00:03:44] Before he gets rode, I'll sure earn my ten

[00:03:44] I get the blinds on him with a terrible fight

[00:03:44] Next comes the saddle, and I cinch him up tight

[00:03:44] Then I step on him and raise up the blinds

[00:03:44] "Get out of the way, boys, he's bound to unwind"

[00:03:44] Well, I threw him his head, and I'll say he unwound

[00:03:44] He seemed to quit living down here on the ground

[00:03:44] Went up in the east and come down in the west

[00:03:44] I'm sitting up on him and doing my best

[00:03:44] He sure was a frog-walker, he heaved a big sigh

[00:03:44] He only lacked wings for to be on the fly

[00:03:44] Turned his old belly right up to the sun

[00:03:44] He sure was a sunfishing son of a gun

[00:03:44] He's about the worst bucker I've seen on the range

[00:03:44] He could turn on a nickle and give you some change

[00:03:44] I lost both my stirrups and also my hat

[00:03:44] I'm reaching for leather and blind as a bat

[00:03:44] He come down on all fours, and he went up on high

[00:03:44] And he left me a-spinning up there in the sky

[00:03:44] Turned over twice and I come down to the earth

[00:03:44] And I lit into cussing the day of his birth

[00:03:44] Now I know there's ponies that I cannot ride

[00:03:44] There's some of them living, they haven't all died

[00:03:44] But I'll bet my money there's no man alive

[00:03:44] Who can stay with old Strawberry when he makes his high dive
