Subject: Lyr Add: THE BIG CORRAL
Here is a great cowboy tune I couldn't find in the DT:
THE BIG CORRAL
That ugly brute from the cattle chute,
Press along to the Big Corral.
He should be branded on the snoot,
Press along to the Big Corral.
CHORUS: Press along cowboy,
Press along with a cowboy yell.
Press along with a noise, a big noise,
Press along to the Big Corral.
Early in the morning 'bout half-past four,
Press along to the Big Corral.
You'll hear him open his face to roar,
Press along to the Big Corral. CHORUS
The wrangler's out a combing the hills,
Press along to the Big Corral.
So jump in your britches and grease up your gills,
Press along to the Big Corral. CHORUS
The chuck we get ain't fit to eat,
Press along to the Big Corral.
There's rocks in the beans and sand in the meat,
Press along to the Big Corral. CHORUS
That ugly gink is a half-breek Chink,
Press along to the Big Corral.
He makes our biscuits in the sink,
Press along to the Big Corral. CHORUS
From the book "He Was Singing This Song by Jim Bob Tinsley pp. 140 A collection of forty-eight traditional songs of the American Cowboy, with words, music, pictures, and stories. ^^
