[Verse]
C G7
Well Windy Bill was a Texas man
G7 C
And he could rope, you bet
C G7
The steer that Windy hadn't tied
G7 C
He had not met him yet
C G7
But the boys they talked of a little black steer
G7 C
Who's a kind of a bad outlaw
C G7
Who lived way down at the bottoms
G7 C
At the foot of a rocky draw
C G7
Well, this old black steer had stood his ground
G7 C
With punchers from everywhere
C G7
The boys give Windy two-to-one
G7 C
That he could not quite get there
C G7
So Windy takes out his old roan horse
G7 C
Who's withers and like to roar
C G7
And prepares to tackle that little black brute
G7 C
That lives down in the draw
Ow!
C G7
With his sam slick tree, his brazos bits
G7 C
His chaps and taps to boot
C G7
And his old Macguey tied hard and fast
G7 C
Bill goes to tackle the brute
C G7
And the little rope horse he sauntered around
G7 C
And that steer began to paw
C G7
Then he stuck his tail straight up in the air
G7 C
And he heads down through the draw
C G7
Well, Windy's horse went after him
G7 C
Like-a he'd been eatin' corn
C G7
Windy stuck that old Macguey
G7 C
Right around that black steer's horns
C G7
And the little ropin' horse he shut it right down
G7 C
And the cinches bust like straw
C G7
And the old macguey and the sam slick tree
G7 C
Went driftin' down the draw
Wow
C G7
Well-a Windy lands in the big rock pile
G7 C
And his face and hands are scratched
C G7
Well, he said he could always rope the steer
G7 C
But he guess he'd met his match
C G7
And he pays his debts like a little old man
G7 C
Without no bit of jaw
C G7
And allows old black steer was the boss
G7 C
Of everything in that draw
C G7
Well, the moral of the story boys
G7 C
Is very plain to see
C G7
When you go out to rope your steer
G7 C
Don't you tie hard your macguey
C G7
But you take your dallies like a man
G7 C
To the California law
C G7
And you won't see your old rimfire
G7 C
Go driftin' down the draw
