Chris Ledoux - Old Red Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Old Red was one of the orneriest yet I've seen at the big rodeo
  • He's bite you and kick you and stomp out your life Old Red had never been rode
  • Meaner than sin wild as the wind that blew on the Montana plains
  • Old Red was one of the last of his breed and wasn't about to be tamed
  • From Idaho a young cowboy came to ride in the big rodeo
  • The young cowboy's name was Billy McClain and Billy had never been throwed
  • The greatest desire filled young Billy's heart to ride this old outlaw called Red
  • He drew him one day and I heard Billy say I'll ride him or drop over dead
  • Old Red was wicked down there in the chute he was kickin' and stompin' about
  • Billy dropped into the saddle with ease then yelled turn him loose let us out
  • Old Red came out with his head on the ground his back hooves were touching his nose
  • Tryin' to get rid of the man of his back but the man went wherever he'd go
  • Billy was rakin' Old Red with his spurs from his tail to the tip of his chin
  • He was doin' right well but Billy could tell this outlaw would never give in
  • Old Red was runnin' straight for the fence suddenly stopped in and then
  • He r'ared on his hind legs then fell on his back taking poor Billy with him
  • There was a hush in the crowd and they knew this would be Billy's last ride
  • The saddle horn crushed Billy's chest when they fell and under Old Red Billy died
  • Old Red lay still no more would he move the cowboys that seen it could tell
  • In tryin' to throw Billy off of his back old Red broke his neck when he fell
  • Out in the west is the place where they rest this cowboy that never was throwed
  • And one foot away resting there neath the clay is the outlaw that never was rode
