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