Robbins, Marty - Old Red Lyrics
Old Red was one of the orniest yet
I'd seen at the big rodeo
He'd bite you and kick you and stomp out your life,
Old Red had never been rode
That blew on the Montana plains
Old Red was one of the last of his breed
And wasn't about to be tamed
From Idaho, a young cowboy came
To ride in the big rodeo
The young cowboy's name was Billy McLean.
And Billy had never been thrown
The greatest desire filled young Billy's heart
He drew him one day and I heard Billy say
"I'll ride him or drop over dead"
Old Red was wicked down there in the shoot
He was kicking and stomping about
Billy climbed into the saddle with ease
And yelled turn him loose let us out
Old Red came out with his head on the ground
His back hooves were touching his nose
Trying to get rid of the man on his back
But the man went wherever he'd go
Billy was raking Old Red with his spurs
From his tail to the tip of his chin
He was doing right well, but Billy could tell
This outlaw would never give in
Old Red was running straight for the fence
Suddenly stopping and then
He reared on his hind legs then fell on his back
Taking poor Billy with him
There was a hush in the crowd and they knew
This would be Billy's last ride
The saddle horn crushed Billy's chest when they fell
And under Old Red Billy died
Old Red lay still, no more would he move
The cowboys that seen it could tell
In trying to throw Billy off his back
Old Red broke his neck when he fell
Out in the west is a place where they rest
This cowboy that never was thrown
And one foot away resting there 'neath the clay
Is the outlaw that never was rode

Robbins, Marty Old Red Comments
This song starts so happy
My grand father loved this song i didn’t know i found this song a few months ago and i listen daily my grand dad died 5 years ago on Christmas day R.I.P i miss you 😭😭💔
If it makes you feel better Marty Robbins is also dead so if the after life is real you'll see them there
But I don't believe in the afterlife I think you can tell I don't do this often
@I'm not weird everyone else is weird and I'm normal Fuck off heathen
Thanks Josh
Its sad that these songs only have a could thousand views. Marty has a great voice and his music is great.
Marty Robbins was my grandfathers favourite
. He always tried to get me to listen when i was young.. i now appreciate why. I sing these songs to my sons.. they always ask for old red
Play them or sing them?
That's nice man. God bless.
I have loved this album since I was a child. Thanks so much!
