[Verse]
G
Way high up in the Sierry Petes
D
Where the yeller pines grow tall,
Rusty Diggs and Sandy Bob
G
Had a rodeo camp last fall.
Well they taken their ponies and their running irons
C
And a-maybe a dog or two,
D
And they 'lowed they’d brand every long-eared calf
G
Now any old dogie that flapped long ears
D
And didn't bush up by day,
Had his long ears whittled and his old hide sizzled
G
In a most artistic way.
Then says Rusty Diggs to Sandy Bob,
C
As he throwed his seago down,
D
"I'm tired of cow-pyrography
G
And I rise I'm a goin' to town."
So he saddles up, and he hits some lope
D
For it weren’t no sight of a ride,
Them was the days when an old cow-punch
G
Could oil up his dry insides.
Well he starts her in at the Kentucky Bar,
C
At the head of the Whisky Row,
D
And they ends her up at the Depot House
G
Some forty drinks below.
And he winds her up and they turns around
D
And they goes her the other way,
To tell you the Lord’s forsaken truth
G
Them boys got stewed that day.
As they was a heading back to camp
D
And packin' a pretty good load,
Who should they meet but the Devil himself
G
Come a-prancin' down the road.
And the Devil he said, “You cowboy skunks,
C
You better go hunt your holes,
D
'Cause I've come up from Hell's rim rocks
G
Just to gather in your souls.”
Well Rusty Diggs said, “Devil be damned,"
D
"And I know I’m pretty tight;
No Devil never took no ol’ cowpunch
G
Without one helluva fight."
He Builds him a hole with his ol’ throw rope
D
And he swang her straight and true,
he lapped it onto the Devil’s horns,
G
and taken his dallies too.
Now Sandy Bob was a reata man
C
With his gut-line coiled up neat;
D
He shakes her out and he builds him a loop
G
And he lassoed the Devil’s hind feet.
Well he throwed him down on the desert ground
D
While the iron was a-gettin’ hot,
They cropped and swaller-forked his ears,
G
And they branded him up a lot.
They pruned him up with a dehorning saw
C
Tied knots in his tail for a joke,
D
Tied off and left him bellerin’ there
G
Knicked up to a black-jack oak.
So if you’re ever up in the Sierry Petes
D
And you hear one hell of a wail,
You’ll know it's that Devil a-bellerin' around
G
About the knots ties in his tail.
