《Little Joe The Wrangler》歌词

[00:00:00] Little Joe The Wrangler - Sara Carter

[00:00:01] Little Joe the Wrangler will wrangle nevermore

[00:00:06] His days with the roundup they are o'er

[00:00:10] Was a year ago last April

[00:00:12] When he rode into our camp

[00:00:14] Just a little Texas stray and nothing more

[00:00:18] Was late in the evening

[00:00:21] When he rode into our camp

[00:00:23] On the little Texas pony he called Chaw

[00:00:27] With his brogan shoes

[00:00:28] And overalls a tougher looking kid

[00:00:31] You never in your life before had saw

[00:00:36] His saddle was a Texas kack built many years ago

[00:00:40] An OK spur on one foot lightly swung

[00:00:44] With his packroll in a cotton

[00:00:46] Sack so loosely tied behind

[00:00:48] And a canteen from his saddle horn was slung

[00:00:53] He said he had to leave his home

[00:00:55] His pa had married twice

[00:00:57] His new ma whipped him every day or two

[00:01:01] So he saddled up old Chaw one night

[00:01:04] And lit a shuck his way

[00:01:05] He said he'd try to paddle his own canoe

[00:01:10] He said if we would give him work

[00:01:12] He'd do the best he could

[00:01:14] Though he didn't know straight up about a cow

[00:01:18] So the boss he cut him out a mount

[00:01:20] And kindly put him on

[00:01:22] He sorta liked this little kid somehow

[00:01:26] He learned to wrangle horses

[00:01:28] And learned to know them all

[00:01:31] And get them in at daybreakk if he could

[00:01:35] And to trail the old chuck wagon

[00:01:37] And always hitch the team

[00:01:39] And help to cook each evening rustle wood

[00:01:43] We had hardly reached the

[00:01:44] Pecos the weather it was fine

[00:01:47] We were camped down

[00:01:48] On the south side in a draw

[00:01:51] When a northern commenced blowing

[00:01:53] And we doubled up our guards

[00:01:55] It took every one of us to hold them in

[00:02:00] Little Joe the Wrangler was called out with the rest

[00:02:04] Scarcely had the little fellow reached the herd

[00:02:08] When the cattle they

[00:02:09] Stampeded like a hailstorm on they fled

[00:02:12] And everyone was ridin' for the lead

[00:02:16] Between the streaks of lightnin'

[00:02:18] We could see a horse ahead

[00:02:20] It was Little Joe the Wrangler in the lead

[00:02:24] He was riding old Blue

[00:02:26] Rocket with a slicker o'er his head

[00:02:28] He was trying to check the leaders in their speed

[00:02:33] We finally got 'em millin'

[00:02:35] And they sort of quieted down

[00:02:37] The extra guard back to the camp did go

[00:02:41] All but one of them was

[00:02:43] Missing and we all knew at a glance

[00:02:45] T'was our little Texas stray boy Wrangler Joe

[00:02:49] We found him there at sun up

[00:02:51] Where old Blue Rocket fell

[00:02:53] In a washout some twenty feet below

[00:02:57] Beneath his horse smashed to a pulp

[00:03:00] His spur had rung the knell

[00:03:02] For our little Texas stray boy Wrangler Joe
