Verse
D G
Little Joe, the wrangler, will wrangle nevermore
D A
His days with the remuda, they are o'er
D G
T'was a year ago last April, when he rode into our camp
D A D
B little Texas stray and all alone.
D G
Was late in the ev'nin', when he rode up to the herd
D A
On a little old brown pony, he called Chaw
D G
With his brogan shoes and overalls, a tougher lookin' kid
D A D
You never in your life had ever saw.
G D
His saddle was a Texas 'kack' built many years ago
A
An O.K. spur on one foot, idly hung
D G
With his hot roll in a cotton sack, loosely tied behind
D A D
And a canteen from his saddle horn, was slung.
D G
He said he had to leave his home, his pa had married twice
D A
and his new ma whipped him every day or two
D G
So he saddled up old Chaw one night and "lit a shuck" this way
D A D
He said he'd try to paddle his own can- oe.
G D
He'd said if we would give him work, he'd do the best he could
A
Tho' he didn't know straight up, about a cow
D G
So the Boss, he cut him out a mount and he kindly put him on
D A D
He sorta liked the little kid, some- how.
D G
Well he learned to jingle horses and to know them one and all
D A
And to get em in by daybreak, if he could
D G
And to follow the chuck wagon and to always hitch the team
D A D
And to help the Cocinero rustle wood.
G D
We'd driven to Red River, the weather being fine
A
We were camped out on the south side, in a bend
D G
When a 'Norther' commenced blowin' we doubled up our guard
D A D
For it took all hands to hold the cattle in.
D G
Now little Joe, The Wrangler, was called out with the rest
D A
And though the kid had scarecly reached the herd
D G
When the cattle, they stampeded, like a hail storm long they fled
D A D
And we were all a ridin' for the lead.
G D
Midst the streaks of lightnin', there was one horse up ahead
A
Tryin' to stop the leaders in their speed
D G
Was little Joe, the wrangler, with a slicker o'er his head
D A D
He was ridin' old Blue Rocket in the lead.
D G
Now we finally got em millin' and kinda quieted down
D A
And the extra guard, back to the wagon, rode
D G
But there was one a-missin', and we knew it at a glance
D A D
Was our little Texas stray, poor wrangler Joe.
G D
Next mornin', just at daybreak, we found where Rocket fell
A
Down in a washout, twenty feet be- low
D G
And beneath his horse smashed to a pulp his spur had rung the knell
D A D
For our little Texas stray, poor wrangler Joe.
D G
Little Joe, The Wrangler, will wrangle nevermore
D A
His days with the remuda, they are o'er
D G
T'was a year ago last April, when he rode into our camp
D A D
Just a little Texas stray and nothin' more.
