Lyrics
he said he d had to leave his home
Little joe the wrangler was called out with the rest, twas little joe the wrangler in the lead, and help the cosinero rustle wood
Little joe the wrangler was called out with the rest, and all of us were riding for the lead
So the boss he cut him out a mount and kinder put him on, taught him how to herd the horses and to learn to know them all
Twas our little texas stray poor wrangler joe, twas little joe the wrangler in the lead
To follow the chuck wagon and to always hitch the team, so he saddled up old chaw one night and lit a shuck this way Sons, beneath his horse mashed to a pulp his horse had rung the knell
He said he d had to leave his home, his days with the remuda they are done, you never in your life had seen before
taught him how to herd the horses and to learn to know them all
Beneath his horse mashed to a pulp his horse had rung the knell, twas long late in the evening he rode up to the herd
But one of them was missin and we all knew at a glance, we d driven hard to red river and the weather had been fine
Twas long late in the evening he rode up to the herd, and help the cosinero rustle wood
thought he d try and paddle his own canoe
will never wrangle more
So the boss he cut him out a mount and kinder put him on, beneath his horse mashed to a pulp his horse had rung the knell
We was riding old blue rocket with his slicker bove his head, to follow the chuck wagon and to always hitch the team
so he saddled up old chaw one night and lit a shuck this way
His daddy d married twice, little joe the wrangler was called out with the rest
Long they flew, a little texas stray and all alone the, the wrangler
Twas our little texas stray poor wrangler joe, but one of them was missin and we all knew at a glance Joe,, down in a washout twenty feet below
He said he d had to leave his home, long they flew
his daddy d married twice
Down in a washout twenty feet below, you never in your life had seen before
will never wrangle more
Next morning just at sunup we found where rocket fell, down in a washout twenty feet below
