《The Strawberry Roan》歌词

[00:00:00] The Strawberry Roan - Marty Robbins

[00:00:04] I was hangin' 'round town just spendin' my time

[00:00:08] Out of a job not earnin' a dime

[00:00:13] A feller steps up and he said I suppose

[00:00:17] You're a bronc fighter from looks of your clothes

[00:00:21] You figures me right I'm a good one I claim

[00:00:25] Do you happen to have any bad ones to tame

[00:00:30] Said He's got one a bad one to buck

[00:00:34] At throwin' good riders he's had lots of luck

[00:00:42] I gets all het up and I ask what he pays

[00:00:46] To ride this old nag for a couple of days

[00:00:51] He offered me ten; I said I'm your man

[00:00:55] A bronc never lived that I couldn't span

[00:00:59] He said: Get your saddle I'll give you a chance

[00:01:03] In his buckboard we hopped and he drives to the ranch

[00:01:07] I stayed 'til mornin' and right after chuck

[00:01:12] I stepped out to see if this outlaw can buck

[00:01:20] Down in the horse corral standin' alone

[00:01:24] Is an old Caballo a Strawberry Roan

[00:01:28] His legs are all spavined he's got pigeon toes

[00:01:33] Little pig eyes and a big Roman nose

[00:01:37] Little pin ears that touched at the tip

[00:01:41] A big 44 brand was on his left hip

[00:01:46] U-necked and old with a long lower jaw

[00:01:50] I could see with one eye he's a regular outlaw

[00:01:57] I gets the blinds on 'im and it sure is a fright

[00:02:01] Next comes the saddle and I screws it down tight

[00:02:06] Then I steps on 'im and I raises the blinds

[00:02:10] Get outta the way boys he's gonna unwind

[00:02:14] He sure is a frog-walker he heaves a big sigh

[00:02:19] He only lacks wings for to be on the fly

[00:02:23] He turns his old belly right up to the sun

[00:02:27] He sure is a sun-fishin' son-of-a-gun

[00:02:34] He's about the worst bucker I've seen on the range

[00:02:39] He'll turn on a Nickel and give you some change

[00:02:43] He hits on all fours and goes up on high

[00:02:47] Leaves me a spinnin' up there in the sky

[00:02:52] I turns over twice and I comes back to earth

[00:02:56] I lights in a cussin' the day of his birth

[00:03:00] I know there are ponies that I cannot ride

[00:03:04] There's some of them left they haven't all died

[00:03:09] I'll bet all my money the man ain't alive

[00:03:13] That'll stay with Old Strawberry

[00:03:15] When he makes his high dive
