[00:00:00] Little Joe The Wrangler - Marty Robbins

[00:00:06] Little Joe the Wrangler

[00:00:09] Will wrangle nevermore

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

[00:00:17] Was a year ago last April

[00:00:19] When he rode into our camp

[00:00:22] Just a little Texas stray

[00:00:24] And nothing more

[00:00:27] Was late in the evening

[00:00:30] When he rode into our camp

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

[00:00:38] With his brogan shoes

[00:00:40] And overalls a tougher looking kid

[00:00:44] You never in your life before had saw

[00:00:49] His saddle was a Texas kack

[00:00:52] Built many years ago

[00:00:55] An OK spur on one foot lightly swung

[00:00:59] With his packroll in a cotton sack

[00:01:03] So loosely tied behind

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

[00:01:11] He said he had to leave his home

[00:01:14] 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

[00:01:24] And lit a shuck his way

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

[00:01:33] He said if we would give him work

[00:01:35] He'd do the best he could

[00:01:38] Though he didn't know straight up about a cow

[00:01:43] So the boss he cut him out a mount

[00:01:46] And kindly put him on

[00:01:49] He sorta liked this little kid somehow

[00:01:54] He learned to wrangle horses

[00:01:57] And learned to know them all

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

[00:02:04] And to trail the old chuck wagon

[00:02:08] 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

[00:02:19] The weather it was fine

[00:02:21] We were camped down on the south side

[00:02:24] In a draw

[00:02:26] When a northern commenced blowing

[00:02:29] And we doubled up our guards

[00:02:32] It took every one of us to hold them in

[00:02:38] Little Joe the Wrangler was called out

[00:02:41] With the rest

[00:02:42] Scarcely had the little fellow

[00:02:45] Reached the herd

[00:02:48] When the cattle they stampeded like

[00:02:51] A hailstorm on they fled

[00:02:54] And everyone was ridin' for the lead

[00:02:59] Amid the streaks of lightnin'

[00:03:01] There was one horse up ahead

[00:03:04] He was tryin' to check the leaders

[00:03:06] In their speed

[00:03:09] It was little Joe the Wrangler

[00:03:12] With a slicker o'er his head

[00:03:15] He was ridin' Old Blue Rocket in the lead

[00:03:20] At last we got them millin'

[00:03:23] And kinda quited down

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

[00:03:31] But there was one a missin'

[00:03:33] We could see it at a glance

[00:03:36] Was our little Texas stray poor Wrangler Joe

[00:03:41] Next morning just at daybreak

[00:03:44] We found where Rocket fell

[00:03:47] Down in a washout twenty feet below

[00:03:52] Beneath his horse his life had gone

[00:03:55] His spur had run it's knell

[00:03:57] Was our little Texas stray poor Wrangler Joe
