LeDoux, Chris - Strawberry Roan Lyrics






Let me tell you a tale and a good one I own of an old caballo a strawberry roan
I was hangin' round town just a spendin' my time out of a job and not earnin' a dime
When a stranger steps up and he says
I suppose you're a bronc rider by the looks of your clothes
I says guess your right there's none I can't tame
If its ridin' wild ponies that my middle name
Oh that strawberry roan oh that strawberry roan
He says he's a cayuse that's never been rode
The guy that gets on him is bound to get throwed
Throwed of that strawberry roan

Out in the horse corral standin' alone is an old caballo, a strawberry roan
Spavined old legs and small pigeon toes pair of pig eyes and a long Roman nose
Little pin ears and they're split at the tip a big fourty four brand was on his left hip
So I puts on my spurs and I coils up my twine
Says to that stranger that ten spot is mine
Oh that strawberry roan oh that strawberry roan
I'll break him to saddle or break him my own
I'll ride him until he lies down with a grown
Bring on your strawberry roan

Then I puts on my blinds and it sure is a fight
Next comes the saddle I screws her down tight
Steps up aboard him and rises the blind get out the way boys he's gonna unwind
Shore is a broad walker he heaves a big sigh
He only lacks wings for to be on the fly
He's the worse buckin' bronco I've seen on the range
Turn on a nickle and give you some change
Oh that strawberry roan oh that strawberry roan
That sunfishin' critter's worth leavin' alone
There's nary a buster from Texas to Nome
Can ride that strawberry roan

    He's no Marty
    But still pretty Damn Good

  2. H.... N....

    Marty robbins wrote this not him

    H.... N....

    I don't think so. According to my research, there were three writers. Marty was not one of them, although I sure as shit love Marty's version.

    H.... N....

    @Noot Marty was the best version

    H.... N....

    no, A cowboy named Curly Fletcher gets credit, and it was recorded by several other artists before Marty was even born.

    The best horse I ever had was a strawberry roan stud. My dad and I got two mares and two colts from the BLM Adopt a Horse program back in 78. I cry everytime I hear this song.

  4. B.... D....

    One of my Chris LeDoux songs. As a former bareback rider I can relate

  5. T.... s....

    This was my great grandpas favorite song RIP grandpa Dodson

  6. T.... D....

    D.... M....

    Dave Mills couldn’t agree with your decision anymore👌🏼😂. Your making the right choice

  11. I.... M....

    Sorry, but 1000 times better from Marty Robbins.

  12. M.... H....

    This song was played at my big brothers funereal, The day I heard he took his own life was the day I found out I was pregnant. 29 years Later (his age) My daughter took her own life. And the circle goes on

    M.... H....

    I'm so sorry for your losses. :( That is heart breaking. May God bless.

    M.... H....

  13. R.... G....

    I used to have a grandson of the horse in the first picture, Red Roan Raider. One heck of a horse.

  14. R.... A....

    the people worried about the breed of horses in the video are one of two types 1.they have read a book on horses and saw one at the fair once. 2. they have a horse that daddy bought for them that daddy pays to board at a stable for someone else to feed and the most time they have in the saddle is all in the nice weather protected arena ! just shut up and enjoy a good old cowboy song regardless of who sang it first the great thing about songs like this is the fact that they are sang over and over by different people be it on a stage or on the trail in spring pushing a herd to a new area

    R.... A....

    Robert Allen absolutely right people try nit pic every little imperfection and losse the beauty of things in life. God Bless America and Americans

    R.... A....

    You are a Cowboy or you just own a hat.J.T.

    This is a cowboy song for sure. There are so many colors and mixed and matched.

    Really break one and then you don;t give a crap whether it is a dun, roan, strawberry or blue, a chestnut, grulla or any other color. They will all bust your butt before you bust them.

    I have one from Montana and another from Wyoming. Both I had to saddle break. Both will mess you up but... Neither have been bitten by snake. If there is a snake around I can feel them while riding. One is a dun and the other is a paint. Both are not horses. They are more than that. And I do take them both to the wilds. I usually ride the dun and then the next day the paint. I want both to stay used to the saddle pack and a rider.

    this song is not written by Chris. it's written by an amazing man that goes by the name of Marty Robbins. altho it has some different words. and sung very well I might add.

    T.... ....

    +Tyler Hutchinson

    Ummm...NO!! It was written by Curley Fletcher and published in 1915, ten years before Marty Robbins was born. Robbins did sing his version, the best IMO.

    T.... ....

    +CHuD Wah thank you. thank you very much.

    T.... ....

    Tyler Hutchinson Marty sings it so much better but neither wrote the song

  17. M.... H....

    some of the horses in there weren't strawberry roans lol

    M.... H....

    Madison Hynek
    Who cares?

  18. L.... ....

    Whoever made this video obviously knows nothing about horse colors. There were 3 bay roans and and at least 2 sorrels. If the song says "strawberry roans" maybe you should work a little harder to put actual strawberry roans in the video. Not red, bay, blue, roans or grulla's. Rant over.

  19. K.... C....

    This song describes my horse! One of the all time songs of AWESOME!!!!!!

  20. s.... ....

    You and me both Mary. Thanks for watching
