[Verse 1]
A
Well it was way high up in The Sierry Petes
E
Where the yellow-jack pines grow tall
Rusty Diggs and Sandy Sam
A
Had a round-up camp last fall
[Verse 2]
A
They had their ponies and their running irons
D E
and maybe a dog or two
They 'lowed they'd brand every lop-eared calf
A
That came within their view
[Verse 3]
A
Well many a lop-eared dogie
E
If he didn't hush up by day
Had his long ears whittled and his old hide scorched
A
In a most artistic way
[Verse 4]
A
Then say Rusty Digs to Sandy Sam
D E
As he throwed his seago down
"I'm tired of cowboyography
A
And I figures I'll go to town."
A E A
[Verse 6]
A
They starts her in a Kentucky Bar
E
At the head of Whiskey Row
And they ends her up at the Depot House
A
Some forty drinks below
[Verse 7]
A
Then he wind'er up and they turns her 'round
D E
And goes the other way
Tell you the Lord-forsaken truth
A
Them boys got drunk that day
[Verse 8]
A
Well they was a -headin' back to camp
E
And packin' a mighty good load
Well who should they meet but the Devil himself
A
Come a-prancin' down the road
[Verse 9]
A
Now the Devil he said you cowboy skunks
D E
You'd better go hunt your hole
'Cause I come up from the Hells rim rock
A
To gather in your souls
[Verse 10]
A
Says Rusty Jiggs to the Devil
E
Though I know We're' tight
No Devil ever took no cowpunch
A
Without one kind of a fight."
A E A
[Verse 11]
A
So Rusty Jiggs punched a hole in his rope
E
He swang it straight and true
He lapped it onto the Devils horns
A
And he take his dollers too
[Verse 12]
A
Now Sandy Sam was a reita man
D
With his gut-line coiled up neat
E
So he shakes her out and he builds him a loop
A
And he laps the Devils hind feet
[Verse 13]
A
Well they stretched ´im out, the tailed ´im down
E
While the irons was a gettin' hot
They cropped and swallow-forked his ears
A
And they branded him up a lot
[Verse 14]
A
Well they pruned him up with a dehornin' saw
D E
Tied knots in his tail for a joke
Then they rode off and left him there
A
Necked up to a black Jack oak
[Verse 15]
A
So if you're up in the Sierry Petes
D E
And you hear one helluva wail
Know its that Devil a-bellowin around
A
about them knots in his tail
