lirik lagu tie a knot in the devil’s tail – chris ledoux
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
(harmonica)
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
(guitar)
say he you ornery cowboy skunks you better hunt your holes
for i’ve come up from h-lls rim rock to gather in your souls
says sandy bob old devil be d-mned we boys is kinda tight
and ya ain’t gonna get no cowboy souls without one h-ll of a fight
so snady bob punched a hole in his rope and he sw-ng her straight and true
and he lapped it onto the devils’ h-rns and he taken his dallies too
now buster jiggs was a reita man with his gut line coiled up neat
so he shakes her out and he built him a loop and he l-ssoed up the devil’s hind feet
(harmonica)
well they stretched him out and they tailed him down while the iron was gettin’ hot
and they cropped and swallow forked both his ears and they branded him up a lot
they pruned him up whit a deh-rning saw and they knotted his tail for a joke
and then rode off and left him there neck to a blackjack oak
so if your ever up high in the sierra peaks and you hear one h-ll of a wail
you’ll know it’s that devil a bellerin’ about them knots tied in his tail
