[E] I was hanging around town, [B] just in time
Out of the trough and [E] I was making a dime
A fella sticks up [A] and he says, I suppose
[B] Here I was riding by the looks of you [E] clothes
But he just looked at me right [B] and he said, what do you think?
I asked him if he had [E] any baggage once I came
He said, I don't need [A] much, it'll be ten [B] bucks
And so I looked down and he's got [E]
a big red body
[B] And that's what he is
If I got that [E] money, I'd be okay
He said, ten [A] bucks, he said
So [B]
I pulled him up and [E] we sat in the shade until morning
[B] And right after check, I went down to [E] see inside
There in the horse [A] crowd standing alone
[B] Was a little old caballo, a stout [E] and a green one
His legs were all shabby [B] and he had a huge head
And he died [E] then, and the pain was on his mind
And a little penny [A] stuck his head out the pimple
[B] Of my brother, one of all [E] he was getting around
[B]
He said, I need [E] a drink, where I belong
Up along my throat, [A] sure feelin' [B] fine
But he told me about a couple [E] of old times
Well, I smiled a little funny [B] and polite
Before he gave me one [E] that I was drawn to
First came the blind, [A] saved what I thought
[B] Next came the saddle on a train
[E] Well, I crawled to his room [B] and his filthy place
Get out of the way [E] boys, let him [A] sit [B] tight
And he only liked me, he used to be [E] on the block
Well, the time got old, he [B]
[E] fell in love with me
He was the worst but he [A] loved me normally
[B] He could sing and dance and he could [G] sing [E] and sing
And [B] we'd go around all night
I don't know what kept him [E] from losing his sight
He was a nice, [A] handsome boy
[B] And his fat little brother had a [E] blind eye on the bat
Then all of a sudden, [B] he let me in
He [E] suddenly made a pin in the sky
I turned over twice, [A] I came back to [B] earth
I got so confused, [E] I cried
[B] Well, I'm a good boy, [E]
they ain't no bad
I'll bet you money they [A] smoke that around
[B] [A] [F#m] [E]
