A
[Verse 1]
A E7 A
We were camped on the plains at the head of the Cimmaron
A F#m E
When along came a stranger and stopped to arger some.
A C#m D A
He looked so very very foolish that we began to look around,
A E7 A
We thought he was a greenhorn that had just escaped from town.
A E7 A
We asked him if he had he been to breakfast; he hadn't had a sniff;
A F#m E
So we opened up the chuck-box and told him help himself.
A C#m D A
He took a little beefsteak and some biscuits and some beans,
A E7 A
And then began to talk and tell about foreign kings and queens,
[Verse 2]
A E7 A
He talked about the Spanish War and fighting on on the seas
A F#m E
With guns as big as beef steers and ramrods big as trees,
A C#m D A
And about old Paul Jones, a fighting son of a gun,
A E7 A
And he said he was the grittiest cuss that ever pulled a gun.
A E7 A
Such an educated feller, his thoughts just come in herds,
A F#m E
He astonished all them cowboys with them jaw-breaking words.
A C#m D A
He just kept right on talking till he made the boys all sick
A E7 A
And they began to look around just how to play a trick.
[Verse 3]
A E7 A
He said he had lost his job out upon the Santa Fe
A F#m E
And was going across the plains to strike the 7-D.
A C#m D A
But he didn't say how come it, just some trouble with his boss,
A E7 A
But said he'd like to borrow a nice fat saddle hoss.
A E7 A
This tickled all the boys to death; we laughed down in their sleeves
A F#m E
Said that he could have a horse as fresh as he would please.
A C#m D A
So shorty grabbed a lasso and he roped the Zebra Dun
A E7 A
And led him to the stranger as we waited for the fun.
[Verse 4]
A E7 A
Now Old Dunny was an outlaw he had grown so awful wild
A F#m E
He could paw the white out of the moon every jump for a mile.
A C#m D A
And he always stood right still, just like he didn't know
A E7 A
Until he was saddled and ready for to go.
A E7 A
Now the stranger hit the saddle, and old Dunny quit the earth,
A F#m E
He went straight up in the air for all that he was worth.
A C#m D A
A-bawlin and a-squalin, and having a wall-eyed fit,
A E7 A
With his hind feet perpendicular, and his front ones in the bit.
[Verse 5]
A E7 A
Now we could see the tops of trees beneath him every jump,
A F#m E
But the stranger he was growed there just like the camel's hump;
A C#m D A
And he sat up there upon him and curled his black moustache,
A E7 A
Just like a summer boarder a-waiting for his hash.
A E7 A
Now he thumped him in the shoulders and spurred him when he whirled,
A F#m E
He showed us flunky punchers he's the wolf of this old world.
A C#m D A
and when he had dismounted once again upon the ground,
A E7 A
Why we knew he was a thoroughbred and not a gent from town.
[Verse 6]
A E7 A
Now the boss he was standing and a watching all the show,
A F#m E
He walks right up to him and he asks him not to go
A C#m D A
"If you can use the lasso like you rode the Zebra Dun,
A E7 A
Then you're the man I've looked for ever since the year of one."
A E7 A
Well he could use a lasso and he didn't do it slow;
A F#m E
The cattle they stampeded he was always on the go.
A C#m D A
E one thing and a sure thing that I learned since I was born,
A E7 A
Every educated feller he ain't a plumb greenhorn!
