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