《Ol’ Zebra Dun》歌词

[00:00:00] Ol' Zebra Dun - Slim Clark

[00:00:10] We was camped on the plains at the head of the Cimmaron

[00:00:14] When along comes a stranger who stopped to try some

[00:00:18] He looked so very foolish we begun to look around

[00:00:22] We thought he was a greenhorn just escaped from town

[00:00:28] He said he'd lost his job up on the Santa Fe

[00:00:32] He was goin' 'cross the plains to for to hit the Seven D

[00:00:36] He didn't say how come it some trouble with the boss

[00:00:39] He said he like the borrow and a fat saddle horse

[00:00:46] This tickled all the boys to death we laughed way down our sleeves

[00:00:51] We lend you a horse just as fresh and fat as you please

[00:00:55] Shorty grabbed his lariat and he roped the Zebra Dun

[00:00:59] He turn them more to the stranger and waited for the fun

[00:01:07] Old Dunny was an outlaw he'd grown so awful wild

[00:01:11] He could paw the white right down the moon when every he get ravel

[00:01:15] Old Dunny stood right still as he didn't know

[00:01:19] And till he was saddled up and ready for to go

[00:01:26] When the stranger hit the saddle old Dunny quit the earth

[00:01:30] He travel right staight up for all that he was worth

[00:01:34] A pitching and a-squealin' and a-having wall-eyed fits

[00:01:38] His front feet perpendicular his hind one in the bits

[00:01:43] We could see the tops of mountains under Dunny every jump

[00:01:47] But the stranger he just glued there like the camel's hump

[00:01:51] The stranger sat upon and twirled his black moustache

[00:01:55] Just like a summer boarder are waitin' for the hash

[00:02:00] He thumped him in the shoulders and he spun him when he whirled

[00:02:04] He showed him flunky pantry see was wolf of the world

[00:02:08] And this strangers had dismounted and once more upon the ground

[00:02:12] We knew we was a thoroughbred and not a giant from town

[00:02:20] The boss he was a-standin' round just watchin' of the show

[00:02:24] Walked right up to the stranger and said

[00:02:27] You needn't go

[00:02:28] If you can use a lariat like you rode old Zebra Dun

[00:02:32] You're the man I'm looking for since the year of one

[00:02:37] And when the herd stampeded he was always on the spot

[00:02:41] And set them down to nothing like the boiling of a pot

[00:02:45] There's one thing and a shore thing I've learned since I was born

[00:02:49] Every educated feller ain't a plumb greenhorn
