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
