歌曲歌詞
Way up high in the Sierra peaks
where the yellow jack pines grow
tall Old Sandy Bob and Buster
Jiggs had a roundup camp last fall
Oh they'd taken the horses and the
runnin' irons and may be a dog or two
And they swore they'd brand all long
ear calves that came within their view
And any old doggie that flapped long
ears and didn't brush up by day
Got his long ears whittled and his old
hid scorched in a most artistic way
Now one fine day old Sandy Bob he
throwed his easy go down
Well I'm sick of the smell of this here
burnin' hair and allows I'm a goin' to town
So they saddles up and they
hits 'em a lope for it weren't no sign
of a ride And them was the days
when a buckaroo could oil up his insides
Oh they starts her off at Kentucky
Bar at the head of a whiskey row
And they winds up down at the
depot house some forty drinks below
And then sets up and turns around
and goes her the other way
And to tell you the god forsaken
truth them boys got stewed that day
As they was a ridin' back to camp a
packin' a pretty good load Well who
should they meet but the devil himself a
prancin' down the road
Say he you ornery cowboy skunks you
better hunt your holes For I've come
up from hells Rim Rock to gather in
your souls Says Sandy Bob old devil
be damned we boys is kinda tight
And ya ain't gonna get no cowboy souls
without one hell of a fight So Snady
Bob punched a hole in his rope and he
swang her straight and true
And he lapped it onto the devils' horns
and he taken his dallies too
Now Buster Jiggs was a reita man with
his gut line coiled up neat So he shakes
her out and he built him a loop and he
lassoed up the devil's hind feet
Well they stretched him out and they tailed
him down while the iron was gettin' hot And
they cropped and swallow forked both his ears
and they branded him up a lot They pruned
him up whit a dehorning saw and they knotted
his tail for a joke And then rode off and left
him there neck to a blackjack oak So if your
ever up high in the Sierra peaks and you hear
one hell of a wail You'll know it's that devil a
bellerin' about them knots tied in his tailChris
