One More Rodeo
By Dunn Clement
Intro: G Em C D (play twice)
Chorus:
G Em
She couldn’t stand to see him leave again,
C D
He couldn’t stand to stay when he knew he could win.
G Em
She cried and pleaded and begged him not to go,
C D G
But he promised her darlin’ just one more rodeo.
G Em
When they got married she thought he’d settle down,
C D
And they’d have a little ranch on the edge of town.
G Em
He rode bucking horses and he rode ‘em real well,
C D
He’d always bring home a check or it’d come in the mail.
G Em
He stayed healthy he was in his prime,
C D
But she knew it was just a matter of time.
Chorus
G Em
He left for Cheyenne even though she cried,
C D
He drew a decent bronc but got a choice for a re-ride.
G Em
He was sittin’ third when he started that ride,
C D
And he drew a rank caballo named “Skoal Suicide.”
G Em
He rode him eight seconds and scored a winnin’ “95”,
C D
But that horse flipped over and the cowboy died.
Chorus (last line a little different)
C D C D
But he promised her darlin’ just one more rodeo…………
C D G
Yeah he promised her darlin’ this was my last rodeo.
