Chris Ledoux - Little Joe The Wrangler Lyrics

  • Little Joe the wrangler he'll wrangle never more
  • His days with the remuda they're all done
  • It was long about last April he rode into our camp
  • Just a little Texas stray and all alone
  • It was long late in the evening when he rode into our camp
  • On a little old brown pony he called Shaw
  • In his brogan shoes and coveralls a harder lookin' kid
  • You never in you life have seen before
  • His saddle was a Sother kack built many years ago
  • An OK spur on one foot idly hung
  • With his bed roll in a cotton sack was loosely tied behind
  • And a canteen from the saddle horn he'd slung
  • Said he had to leave his home because his paw had married twice
  • His new maw beat him every day or two
  • So he saddled up old Shaw one night and lit a shuck this way
  • Thought he'd try and paddle now his own canoe
  • Said he'd try to do the best he could if we'd only give him work
  • Though he didn't know straight up about a cow
  • So the boss he cut him out a mount and kinda put him on
  • And we knew he liked our little stray somehow
  • Well he taught him how to heard the horses and learned to know 'em all
  • And to get 'em in by daylight if he could
  • And to follow the chuck wagon and to always hitch the team
  • And to help the carsonaro rustle wood
  • We had driven to Red River and the weather it was fine
  • We were camped down on the south side of the bend
  • When a Norther started blowin' we called the extra guard
  • Cause it took all hands to hold the cattle in
  • Now little Joe the wrangler was called out like the rest
  • Barely had the kid got to the heard
  • When the cattle they stampeded like a hailstorm on they flew
  • With all of us a ridin' for the lead
  • Between the streaks of lightnin' we could see a horse ahead
  • It was little Joe the wrangler in the lead
  • He was riding old Blue Rocket with a slicker o'er his head
  • And he's trying to check the leaders in their speed.
  • We finally got'em millin' and they sort of quieted down
  • The extra guard back to the camp did go
  • But one of them was missing and we all knew at a glance
  • Twas our little Texas strayboy wrangler Joe
  • We found him there at sun up where old Blue Rocket fell
  • In some washout twenty feet below
  • Beneath his horse smashed to a pulphis spur had rung the knell
  • For our little Texas stray bos wrangler Joe
  • Little Joe the wrangler he'll wrangle never more
  • His days with the remuda they're all done
  • It was long about last April he rode into our camp
  • Just a little Texas stray and all alone
