He had a lot of birdies
made of silver on his rig.

He said he never rode before
for such a little spread,

Well, the boss,
he kind of blinks his eyes
and toes a piece of ground.

A
D
but, well, if your pride could
stand to ride
amongst a bunch of hicks,

Maybe you could learn us all

The stranger's name was Buck LaRue.

you'd think he learned the

He just rode him as they come,
never raised no big hurrah.

Bm
in the evenings after chow,

Bm
that never failed to tell the others how.
G
