Tie A Knot In The Devil\x27s Tail

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,
