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