♫ Verse :
C majorC
Well it was down at old ranch eagle where I first ran across
                     A minorAm
That strange two wheel contraception that upset me in the dust
C majorC         A minorAm            C majorC
Simply got up and throwed me romped around upon my head
                    G7G7
Shot straight up in lightning order so ike the ranch boss said


Verse two:
C majorC
T'was a tenderfoot who rode it those wheelings so they say
              A minorAm
For his help from new york city out to san francisco bay
C majorC            A minorAm                  C majorC
He stopped by the ranch house to get himself a good square meal
                 G7G7           C majorC
Never dreamt us boys would monkey with his gosh darn wheel

Verse three:
C majorC
Started in with Arizona when he says to ike mcgill
           A minorAm
I guess you found a limit to your bronco riding skill
C majorC            A minorAm            C majorC
He said ol' boy but you will find a different deal
                G7G7            C majorC
When you throw your chaparritas around that gosh darn wheel

Verse Four:
C majorC
Well when he slurs upon my talent makes me madder than a mink
            A minorAm
So i told him i would ride him for amusement of the chink
C majorC              A minorAm              C majorC
I said if you don't believe me just to get her by the snout
                 G7G7          C majorC
Put a rope around her muzzle and to lead the critter out

Verse five:
C majorC
Well i done as i requested and i gave the word to go
               A minorAm
I pushed the gas to start her and she wasn't very slow
C majorC          A minorAm        C majorC
The grade was kinda sloping from the ranch house to the creek
                  G7G7       C majorC
And i went-a tearing through there like a crazy lightning streak

Verse six:
C majorC
All the boys they went to hollering stay with her uncle bill
           A minorAm
Put your spurs in her shoulder turn her muzzle up the hill
C majorC          A minorAm                  C majorC
Well i done as they requested but my plan it wouldn't work
                   G7G7         C majorC
When my spurs went in it's shoulders my face went in the dirt

Verse seven:
C majorC
Well the next that i remember i was lying on the ground
                A minorAm
Out in front of old ranch eagle with my comrades gathered 'round
C majorC              A minorAm                C majorC
They were putting peach tree poultices on my hide where it was ripped
                    G7G7         C majorC
Some of the boys said arizona you must have gotten whipped

C majorC            A minorAm           C majorC
I can ride the toughest steer that ever wore a texas brand
            G7G7           C majorC
