Strawberry Roan By Chris Ledoux rmofle at satx.rr.com 2/11/2006 After the first verse, you can drop the Dm and Dm7 in the other verses C G Let me tell you a tale and a good one I own Dm Dm7 C Of an old caballo, a strawberry roan C C7 F I was hangin' round town just a spendin' my time G C Out of a job and not earnin' a dime C G When a stranger steps up and he says "I suppose Dm Dm7 C You're a bronc rider by the looks of your clothes." C C7 F I says, "Guess your right, there's none I can't tame G C If its ridin' wild ponies that my middle name." Chorus: C Oh that strawberry roan F C Oh that strawberry roan F C He says he's a cayuse that's never been rode F C The guy that gets on him is bound to get throwed G C Throwed off that strawberry roan Out in the horse corral standin' alone Is an old caballo, a strawberry roan Spavined old legs and small pigeon toes Pair of pig eyes and a long Roman nose Little pin ears and they're split at the tip A big fourty four brand was on his left hip So I puts on my spurs and I coils up my twine Says to that stranger that ten spot is mine Chorus 2: Oh that strawberry roan Oh that strawberry roan I'll break him to saddle or break him my own I'll ride him until he lies down with a grown Bring on your strawberry roan Then I puts on my blinds and it sure is a fight Next comes the saddle - I screws her down tight Steps up aboard him and rises the blind Get out the way boys - he's gonna unwind Shore is a broad walker he heaves a big sigh He only lacks wings for to be on the fly He's the worse buckin' bronco I've seen on the range Turn on a nickle and give you some change Chorus 3: Oh that strawberry roan Oh that strawberry roan That sunfishin' critter's worth leavin' alone There's nary a buster from Texas to Nome Can ride that strawberry roan Can ride that strawberry roan
