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