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