^D I was sittin' in bar room one ^G rainy afternoon
Tellin' ^A stories about rodeo and ^D listening to a tune
The rodeo starts tomorrow in this ^G one horse town
So ^A Joe (or name of your choice) took our names and ^D put our entries down.
I went to the office the ^G next day to see
What ^A bareback horse I had and to p ^D ay my fees.
I looked on the list but my ^G name wasn't found
I thought ^A Joe might of forgot to ^D put me down.
Well, I looked on the board and ^G I happened to find,
My ^A name was on another list, I ^D was in the Bull Riding.
My knees began to knock and my ^G face began to sweat,
Then I ^A heaved and gagged on the ^D rodeo office steps.
Well, I may be a fool but a ^G coward I'm not,
So I ^A borrowed a bull rope with a ^D bell in the knot.
I walked in the arena with them ^G other bullridin' fools,
Walked ^A down the chutes, and ^D found my bull.
Then I put my rope in the ^G middle of his back,
Then ^D had some cowboy ^G pull up the slack,
Then I ^D wrapped the tail around my ^G hand and back,
And said " ^A Boys, open the gate just a ^D little bitty crack!".
Well, the bull hit the gate ^G with his head
And I could ^A see over his hump that his ^D eyes was red.
He bailed outta there with a big ^G snort and a beller'
And ^A somethin' inside me told ^D me I was yeller'
The dust and hair and ^G flies from off his hump,
Did ^A whisk to my nose as he ^D made another jump.
And the stink of it all was more ^G than I could stand,
So I ^A jerked my wrap, and ^D opened my hand.
Well, he jumped through air as he ^G made one more turn,
That ^A rope slid through my hand it ^D sure did burn.
He flang me down in a ^G great big heap,
And ^A right in the middle of me ^D he did leap.
D(strum once) G(strum once)
With his feet on my belly, standing in place,
A(strum once) D(strum once)
That dirty ole' bull, blew snot in my face.
Well, them ^D danged ole bulls you can ^G run 'em the chutes,
^D Put your ropes on them ^G big gallutes,
But the ^D closest your gonna find me to their ^G stinkin' hair,
Is to ^A help some other fool get ^D flung in the air. ^{A D}
