Indian Cowboy
By: Townes van Zandt



        C      G7         C
If you ever go out to the circus
                                 G
Where the Wallendas walk on the wire
      C                    F
I'll tell you a tale to remember
           C           G7            C
When the white horses leap rings of fire


         C          G7     C
It was a cold night in Oklahoma
                        G
The show was about to begin
      C                   F
The animals they were all restless
           C            G7             C
When the star-horse she broke from her pen

          C          G7      C
Well, she was a mare of high spirits
                           G
Like a whore on a Saturday night
       C                                          F
Just a-kickin' and a-buckin' while the men were a-brushin'
       C      G7           C
The elephants lined on the side


          C           G7       C
Now close to the tent sat a lantern
                                G
It was dangerously close to the hay
          C                        F
That mare headed straight for that lantern
     C        G7              C
Some fool had left there by mistake


     C           G7        C
Then up jumps an Indian Cowboy
                                    G
And his lasso he throws through the air
      C                    F
Smack-dab in the middle of danger
   C         G7      C
He ropes the runaway mare


        C         G7                  C
And the elephants raised up their trumpets
                               G
And one of them broke from her chains
    C                 F
Stampeded that Indian Cowboy
    C              G7           C
Who just saved the big-top from flames


        C      G7         C
If you ever go out to the circus
                                 G
Where the Wallendas walk on the wire
  C                  F
Remember that Indian Cowboy
         C            G7            C
When the white horses leap rings of fire
