[Verse 1]
[C]Well, I was laying round town
just a [G]-spending my time
Out of a job and not making [C]a dime
When a feller steps up and [F]he says,
I suppose you're [G]a bronc riding man
by the looks [C]of your clothes
You guessed me just right,
[G]I'm a good one, I claims
Do you happen to have
any bad ones [C]to tame?
He says that he hasn't
a bad [F]one to buck,
And for throw[G]in' good riders
he's had lots of [C]luck.
Well, it's, that Straw[G]berry [C]Roan,
[F]Oh, that Straw[C]berry Roan.
They say he's [F]a coyote
[C]that's never been rowed,
The [F]man that gets on him
is [C]bound to be throwed.
Get off [G]that Strawberry [C]Roan.
Well I gets all excited and
[G]asks what he pays
To ride this old pony for a couple of [C]days
He offers a ten spot, I [F]am your man
For a bronc [G]never lived
that I could[C]n't fan
Well he says get your saddle
and [G]I'll give you a chance
So I gets in the buckboard,
we drives [C]to the ranch
I stays until mornin'
and right [F]after chuck
I steps [G]out to see if this outlaw can [C]balk
Well, it's oh, that Strawberry Roan,
[F]oh, that Strawberry [C]Roan
They [F]say he's a coyote
that's [C]never been rode
The [F]man that gets on him
is [C]bound to be throwed
Get [G]off that Strawberry [C]Roan
Down in the corral, stand[G]in' alone,
Is this old cabalot a [C]strawberry roan?
His legs is all spab
and he [F]has pigeon toes,
Two [G]little pig eyes and a [C]big Roman nose,
Little pin ears that touched [G]at the tip,
And a big forty -four run on [C]his left hip.
He's ewe -necked and old
with [F]a long lower jaw,
I [G]could see with one eye
he was a regular out[C]law.
Well, it's oh, that Strawberry Roan,
[F]oh, that Straw[C]berry Roan
They [F]say he's a coyote
that's [C]never been rowed
The [F]man that gets on him
[C]is bound to be throwed
Get [G]off that Strawberry [C]Roan
I buckle on my spurs, I'm sure [G]feeling fine
I picks up my hat and curls [C]up my twine
I piles my rope on him,
and will [F]I know then
That [G]afore I get rode,
I've sure [C]earned my ten
I gets the blinds on him, it sure [G]is a fight
Next comes my old saddle,
and I screws [C]her on tight
Then I steps unto him,
and raises [F]the blinds
I'm right [G]in his middle to
see him un[C]wind
Well, it's, that Strawberry Roan,
[F]oh, that Strawberry [C]Roan
They [F]say he's a [C]coyote
that's never been rode
The [F]man that gets on him
is [C]bound to be throwed
Get off [G]that Strawberry [C]Roan
He bowed his old neck,
and I [G]guess he's unwound
For he seemed to quit
living down [C]there on the ground
He went up towards the east
and come [F]down towards the west
To [G]stay in his middle,
I'm [C]sure doin' my best
He sure is frog -walkin',
he [G]heaves a big sigh
He only lacks wings to be [C]on the fly
He turns his old belly right up [F]to the sun
He sure [G]is a sunfishin' son of a [C]gun
Well, it's oh, that Strawberry Rome
It's [F]oh, that Straw[C]berry Rome
They [F]say he's a chaios
that's [C]never been rode
The [F]man that gets on [C]him
is bound to be throwed
Get [G]throwed by that strawberry [C]roam
He's about the worst bucker
I've [G]seen on the range
He can turn on a nickel
and give you the change
[C]And when he's a -buckin'
he [F]squeals like a shoot
I [G]tell you that pony has sure got [C]my goat
I claims that no foolin'
that [G]outlaw can step
But I'm still in his middle
and a [C]-buildin' a rep
He hits on all fours
and he turns on his [F]side
I don't [G]see what keeps him
from losing his [C]hide
Well, it's oh, that strawberry roam
It's [F]oh, that strawberry [C]roam
They [F]say he's a coyote
that's [C]never been roamed
The [F]man that gets on [C]him
is bound to be throwed
Be throwed by that straw[G]berry [C]roam
Well, I loses my stirrup an[G]d also my hat
I'm clawin' at leather as blind [C]as a bat
With a phenomenal jump he
goes [F]up on high
Leaves me sittin' [G]on nothin'
up there [C]in the sky
Well, I turned over an
[G]d comes back to earth
And I likes him to cussin'
the day [C]of his birth
And I knows their old ponies
are not able [F]to ride
[G]There's some of them left
and they haven't all [C]died
Well, it's oh, that straw[G]berry [C]roam
It's oh, [F]that strawberry roam
[C]They say he's a coyote
that's never been [C]roamed
The [F]man that gets on him
is [C]bound to be throwed
Be [G]throwed by that strawberry [C]roam
