OK... here you go... from the recording...

Not 100% on the third verse... If you don't sort it out before next Monday (30th), PM me, and I will ask Bill.... He is playing in Seattle and I know where to reach him...

Should have asked this morning.... Had him on the Mudcat for a bit... could have had it 'straight from the horses mouth'!

ZANE GREY
(Tom Russell)

Time's when old Zane could run
As fast as any horse in the Texas sun
But that was back in '51,
Too many trails ago

CHORUS: And it's get up Zane the ground's too cold
And it's get up Zane I know you're getting old
You've got the whooping cough and a sway back fold
And it's get up old Zane Grey.

They shipped him up north early one spring
And auctioned him off to a rental string
Ten long years in a dusty old ring
Dreaming of his Texas home

?A sorrel red high covered over with flour?
And you could ride old Zane for a dollar an hour
That outlaw trails by the water tower
Till Zane couldn't ride no more

You're gonna live out your days in the back ranch grass
Swatting at the flies as the mares go past
A broke down trot is about as fast
As old Zane Grey can move.


Hope this helps...
