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