Ian Tyson - M.C. Horses Lyrics
We were having a drink at Stockmen's,Listenin' to the guitars ring.Jesse said "You know,they sold the M.C. horses.""I'll be damned.When was that?" I hadn't heard a thing."Back in August--100 head and more."Yeah, the people they come from everywhereJust to bid on 'em high and lowAnd thereby own a piece of the legend.With the cow herd all dispersed the old cavvy she had to go.Back in August--100 head and more.Chorus:So come on boy, run 'em in. We're gonna let this sale begin.Last of the big remudas of the mightly M.C.There's horses here for everyone.Saddle 'em kids let's get her done.By the time that Oregon sun goes downThis outfit's history--this outfit's history.So the M.C. crew they rode 'em allAnd the people all gathered 'round.One ol' boy gave two grand for Banjo.Banjo took his trailer apartWhen he tired to load him up for townBack in August-- 100 head and more.If you ever have beer at the Adel StoreSay hi to Chuck and Annie.They'll show you them big ol' steer heads up there hangin'.When you ask where have they gone?Hell, they're gone like the M.C. cavvyBack in August--100 head and more.Repeat ChorusWe were having a drink at Stockmen'sWay out on the sagebrush sea.Jesse said "You know, they sold the M.C. horses."
