Cowboy Song
The Tale of the Evergreen Rodeo.

I was sipping on an ice cold beer at a Rodeo in Evergreen
When I heard a growl an I turned around
he was the biggest man I'd ever seen
He just stared at me an he moved his head
I stepped a side not a word was said
A cowgirl caught my eye 'n' ginned
said even some of them bulls are scared of him.

Cos when he's out there fighting bulls
there ain't no mean trick he ain't never seen pulled
He's tall and lean, scared 'n' mean
and hard as a chunk of stone.

I listened to the cowgirl talk
as I reached and cracked another can
She told how her Daddy once killed a Hoss
with crashing blow from his big right hand
"So why don't we get wed tonight"
her Daddy wouldn't mind it'd be all right
Then I quietly slipped away
and moved to Alaska the very same day.

Cos when her Daddy's out there fighting bulls
there ain't no mean trick he ain't never seen pulled
He's tall and lean, scared 'n' mean
and hard as a chunk of stone.

I just received a shakily written note
from a guy I knew in Evergreen
The words I read said he just got wed
to a cowgirl pretty as a Carny Queen
He talked about his Maw-in law
and how she had once killed a man
Her Daddy is a great big son-of-a-bitch
eats whole cows and looks like Desperate Dan

And when he's out there fighting bulls
there ain't no mean trick he ain't never seen pulled
He's tall and lean, scared 'n' mean
and hard as a chunk of stone.
