letra de the horse wrangler - roger welsch
[verse 1]
i thought one spring just for fun
i’d see how cow-punching was done
so when the roundups had begun
i tackled the cattle-king
says he, “my foreman is in town
he’s at the plaza, his name is brown
if you see him, he’ll peg you down.”
says i, “that’s just the thing.”
[verse 2]
we started for the ranch the next day
brown augured me most all the way
he said that cow-punching was nothing but play
that it was no work at all–
that all you had to do was ride
only drifting with the tide;
that son-of-a-gun, oh, how he lied!
don’t you think he had his gall?
[verse 3]
he put me in charge of a cavyard
told me not to work too hard
that all i had to do was guard
the horses from getting away;
i had one herd and sixty head
i sometimes wished that i was dead;
when one got away, brown’s head turned red
and there was the devil to pay
[verse 4]
sometimes one would make a break
across the prairie he would take
as if he was running for a stakeit seemed to them but play
sometimes i could not head them at all
sometimes my horse would take a fall
and i’d shoot like a cannon ball
till the earth came in my way
[verse 5]
they saddled me up an old gray hack
with two setfasts on his back
they padded him down with a gunnysack
and used my bedding all
when i got on, he quit the ground
went up in the air and he turned around
and i came down and i busted the ground
i got one h-ll of a fall
[verse 6]
they took me up they carried me in
they rubbed me down with a rollin’ pin
“that’s the way they all begin;
you’re doing well,” says brown
“and in the morning, if you don’t die
i’ll give you another horse to try.”
“oh say, can’t i walk?” says i
says he, “yes, back to town.”
[verse 7]
i’ve traveled up, i’ve traveled down
i’ve traveled this country round and round
i’ve lived in the city and i’ve lived in town
but i’ve got this much to say:
before you try cow-punching, kiss your wife
take a heavy insurance on your life
then cut your throat with a butcher knife-
’cause it’s easier done that way
