Verse 1:
    C
Now boys I'll tell you a story
                               G
Of a horse I owned long, long ago:
  C                     F
A little steel-dust the color of rust,
        C     G             C
And his name
was Dodgin' Joe

Refrain:
C                        F       C
Lack of day, lack of day here we go
C                       G            C
This a-way, that a-way
on Dodgin' Joe


Verse 2:
       C
Now of all the cow-horses in Texas
                        G
Or anywhere else that I know
C                     F
None could cut a cow
from the corral
   C          G                C
As fast as my good ole Dodgin' Joe.


Refrain:
C                        F       C
Lack of day, lack of day here we go
C                       G            C
This a-way, that a-way
on Dodgin' Joe

Verse 3:
    C
Now boys you can all take her easy
                           G
A loop that you will never throw
       C                      F
On the LFD spread, they don't get out of bed
        C             G            C
All the work is done
by Dodgin' Joe

C                        F       C
Lack of day, lack of day here we go

This a-way, that a-way
on Dodgin' Joe

Verse 4:
    C
You might be a top hand in Texas
                            G
Right smart at putting on a show
    C                                   F
But better make your respects, when you step on the deck
           C              G            C
'Tain't no rocking chair
on Dodgin' Joe


Refrain:
C                        F       C
Lack of day, lack of day here we go

This a-way, that a-way
on Dodgin' Joe
