Ben Colder: A Little Bitty Steer Let Me Down
Resubmitted by GMWNS
Note 1: This song is a parody of Burl Ives 'A Little Bitty Tear'.
Note 2: Ben Colder was really Shep Wooley (who did Purple People Eater in
the late 50s). Wooley did many humorous songs under the name Ben
Colder.
Intro: Instrumental: Follow pattern of two CAPITALIZED lines
(D) Oh I thought that I would like to be a (A) cow person
So I went to a (A7) big rode-(D)-o
I signed on (D7) as a bull (G) rider
Every-(D)-one said that (A) I would stop the (D) show
But a little bitty steer let me (A) down
Drove my (A7) head in the (D) ground
(D)THE SON-OF-A-GUN (D7) REALLY CAME UN-(G)-WOUND
A (D) LITTLE BITTY (A) STEER LET ME (D) DOWN
Well he chased me around the a-(A)-rena
His hot snortin' (A7) breath I could (D) feel
I said I just (D7) want to be a (G) cowboy
And (D) this wasn't (A) part of the (D) deal
Oh a little bitty steer let me (A) down
Drove my (A7) head in the (D) ground
The son-of-a-gun (D7) really came un-(G)-wound
Oh a (D) little bitty (A) steer let me (D) down
Instrumental: Same as Intro
(D) Everyone there was in (A) stitches
We really did put (A7) on quite a (D) show
'Cause the seat was (D7) out of my (G) britches
And I (D) showed him how (A) fast I could (D) go
Oh a little bitty steer let me (A) down
Drove my (A7) head in the (D) ground
The little son-of-a-gun he (D7) really came un-(G)-wound
Oh a (D) little bitty (A) steer let me (D) down
Instrumental Ending: Same as Intro
