C F
I was sittin' in a bar room one rainy afternoon
C F
Tellin' stories about a rodeo and listenin' to a tune
C F
The rodeo starts tomorrow in this one horse town
G7 F C
So Bill took our names and put our entries down
C F
I went to the rodeo office the next day to see
C F
What bareback horse I had and to pay my fees
C F
I looked across the list but my name wasn't to be found
G7 F C
I thought Bill just might have forgot to put me down
C F
I looked across the board and I happened to find
C F
My name was on another list I was in the bull ridin'
C F
My knees began to knock and my face began to sweat
G7 F C
And I heaved and gagged on the rodeo office step
C F
Well I may be a fool but a coward I'm not
C F
So I borrowed myself a bull rope with a bell in the knot
C F
I walked into the arena with them other bull ridin' fools
G7 F C
I walked down the chutes and finally found my bull
C F
Then I put my rope in the middle of his back
C F
And had some cowboy pull up the slack
C F
Then I wrapped the tail around my hand and back
G7 F C
And said boys open that gate just a little bitty crack
C F
Well the bull hit the gate with his head
C F
And I could see over his hump that his eyes were red
C F
He bailed out of there with a big snort and beller
G7 F C
And something inside me told me I was yeller
C F
Well the dust and hair and flies from off of his hump
C F
Did wisk to my nose as he made another jump
C F
And the stink of it all was more than I could stand
G7 F C
So I jerked my wrap and opened up my hand
C F
Well he jumped in the air and he made one more turn
C F
And as the rope slid through my hand it sure did burn
C F
He flung me down in a great big heap
G7 F C
Then right in the middle of me he did leap
no chord C(single strum) F(single strum)
With his feet in my belly a standin' in place
C(single strum) F(single strum)
That dirty filthy old bull blew snot in my face
C F
So them damned old bulls you can run'em in a chute
C F
And put your ropes on them big galloots
C F
But the closest you're gonna find me to their stinkin' hair
G7 F C
Is to help some other fool get flung in the air
