Rodeo

Rodeo complete no 111 The stage is set in the arena People gathered all around Big show the today The rodeo is in town Every one with hopes They all are coming in Its time to start Let the rides begin Practicing every day Sun down to sun rise I really need to Win first prize Mamma is getting sick The doctor don’t know why Said take her to Montgomery Or she will sorely die Tell her it will be ok I am going to win today Then get all the medicine To take her pain away Did my self proud Reach the last round Bronco and stallions I rode as they come along Comes down to me And the rancher’s son He never rides fair I feel something’s wrong He rode a bronco And he score and eight Then he looks at me Before I came out the gate The horse lose the hind legs Fell bleeding on the ground As I ride out the chute Dead from a bullet wound And he won the prize And I was disqualified Bury her under the Sycamore The day my mamma died Will never ride a rodeo again As I give my horse some grass Feel the good guys Will always come last Will sell this place Go to New York City Meet a green eyes girl And start a family
