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