[00:00:02] Written by：N. Howard Jack Thorp

[00:00:06] Little Joe the wrangler will wrangle nevermore

[00:00:11] His days with the roundup they are o'er

[00:00:16] Was a year ago last April when he rode into our camp

[00:00:22] Just a little Texas stray and nothing more

[00:00:27] Was late in the evening when he rode into our camp

[00:00:33] On the little Texas pony he called Chaw

[00:00:38] With his brogan shoes and overalls a tougher looking kid

[00:00:43] You never in your life before had saw

[00:00:49] His saddle was a Texas Kack built many years ago

[00:00:54] An ok spur on one foot lightly swung

[00:00:59] With his packroll in a cotton sack so loosely tied behind

[00:01:05] And a canteen from his saddle horn was slung

[00:01:10] He said he had to leave his home his pa had married twice

[00:01:16] His new ma whipped him every day or two

[00:01:21] So he saddled up old Chaw one night and lit a shuck his way

[00:01:27] He said he'd try to paddle his own canoe

[00:01:32] He said if we would give him work he'd do the best he could

[00:01:37] Though he didn't know straight up about a cow

[00:01:43] So the boss he cut him out a mount and kindly put him on

[00:01:48] He sorta liked this little kid somehow

[00:01:54] He learned to wrangle horses and learned to know them all

[00:01:59] And get them in at daybreak if he could

[00:02:04] And to trail the old chuck wagon and always hitch the team

[00:02:10] And help to cook each evening rustle wood

[00:02:15] We had hardly reached the Pecos the weather it was fine

[00:02:20] We were camped down on the south side in a draw

[00:02:25] When a northern commenced blowing and we doubled up our guards

[00:02:31] It took every one of us to hold them in

[00:02:37] Little Joe the wrangler was called out with the rest

[00:02:41] Scarcely had the little fellow reached the herd

[00:02:47] When the cattle they stampeded like a hailstorm on they fled

[00:02:52] And everyone was ridin' for the lead

[00:02:58] Amid the streaks of lightnin' there was one horse up ahead

[00:03:03] He was tryin' to check the leaders in their speed

[00:03:09] It was little Joe the wrangler with a slicker o'er his head

[00:03:14] He was ridin' old blue rocket in the lead

[00:03:19] At last we got them millin' and kinda quited down

[00:03:25] And the extra guards back to the wagon went

[00:03:30] But there was one a missin' we could see it at a glance

[00:03:35] Was our little Texas stray poor wrangler Joe

[00:03:41] Next morning just at daybreak we found where rocket fell

[00:03:46] Down in a washout twenty feet below

[00:03:51] Beneath his horse his life had gone his spung had run its knell

[00:03:56] Was our little Texas stray poor wrangler Joe
