Verse 1
D
Windy Bill was a Texas man
G
D
Well, he could rope, you bet
He swore the steer he couldn't tie
E
A
Well, he hadn't found him yet
D
But the boys they knew of
an old black steer
G
D
A sort of an old outlaw
That ran down in the malpais
A
At the foot of a rocky draw
D
Verse 2
D
This old black steer had stood his ground
G
With punchers from everywhere
D
So they bet old Bill at two to one
E
A
That he couldn't quite get there
D
Then Bill brought out his old gray hoss
G
D
His withers and back were raw
And prepared to tackle
the big black brute
A
D
That ran down in the draw
Verse 3
D
With his Brazos bit and
G
his Sam Stack tree*
D
His chaps and taps to boot
And his old maguey tied hard and fast
E
A
Bill swore he'd get the brute
D
Now, first Bill sort of sauntered round
G
D
Old Blackie began to paw
Then threw his tail straight in the air
A
And went driftin' down the draw
D
Verse 4
D
The old gray plug flew after him
G
D
For he'd been eatin' corn
And Bill, he piled his old maguey
E
Right round old Blackie's horns
A
D
The old gray hoss he stopped
right still
G
D
The cinches broke like straw
And the old maguey and
the Sam Stack tree
A
D
Went driftin' down the draw
Verse 5
D
Bill, he lit in a flint rock pile
G
D
His face and hands was scratched
He said he thought he could
rope a snake
E
A
But he guessed he'd met his match
D
He paid his bets like a little man
G
D
Without a bit of jaw
And 'lowed old Blackie was the boss
A
Of anything in the draw
D
Verse 6
There's a moral to my' story, boys
G
D
And that you all must see
Whenever you go to tie a snake
E
A
Don't tie it to your tree
D
But take your dolly welters
G
D
'Cordin' to California law
And you'll never see your old rim- fire
A
D
Go drifting down the draw
