RE SOL
I was sittin' in bar room one rainy afternoon
LA RE
Tellin' stories about rodeo and listening to a tune
SOL
The rodeo starts tomorrow in this one horse town
LA RE
So Joe (or name of your choice) took our names and put our entries down.
SOL
I went to the office the next day to see
LA RE
What bareback horse I had and to pay my fees.
SOL
I looked on the list but my name wasn't found
LA RE
I thought Joe might of forgot to put me down.
SOL
Well, I looked on the board and I happened to find,
LA RE
My name was on another list, I was in the Bull Riding.
SOL
My knees began to knock and my face began to sweat,
LA RE
Then I heaved and gagged on the rodeo office steps.
SOL
Well, I may be a fool but a coward I'm not,
LA RE
So I borrowed a bull rope with a bell in the knot.
SOL
I walked in the arena with them other bullridin' fools,
LA RE
Walked down the chutes, and found my bull.
SOL
Then I put my rope in the middle of his back,
RE SOL
Then had some cowboy pull up the slack,
RE SOL
Then I wrapped the tail around my hand and back,
LA RE
And said "Boys, open the gate just a little bitty crack!".
SOL
Well, the bull hit the gate with his head
LA RE
And I could see over his hump that his eyes was red.
SOL
He bailed outta there with a big snort and a beller'
LA RE
And somethin' inside me told me I was yeller'
SOL
The dust and hair and flies from off his hump,
LA RE
Did whisk to my nose as he made another jump.
SOL
And the stink of it all was more than I could stand,
LA RE
So I jerked my wrap, and opened my hand.
SOL
Well, he jumped through air as he made one more turn,
LA RE
That rope slid through my hand it sure did burn.
SOL
He flang me down in a great big heap,
LA RE
And right in the middle of me he did leap.
D(strum once) G(strum once)
With his feet on my belly, standing in place,
A(strum once) D(strum once)
That dirty ole' bull, blew snot in my face.
RE SOL
Well, them danged ole bulls you can run 'em the chutes,
RE SOL
Put your ropes on them big gallutes,
RE SOL
But the closest your gonna find me to their stinkin' hair,
LA RE LA RE
Is to help some other fool get flung in the air.
