The Yellow Stud

Somewhere on the prairie a yellow stud runs free

Runnin' through the sage brush down

Through the coolies

And there not far behind him

A cowboy rides along

He's gonna try to catch him

And break him for his own

The chase goes on all morning

And late into the day

The cowboy changes horses he

Staked along the way

The studd is growin' weaker now and

Gettin' short of wind

He runs into the trap corral

The cowboy shuts him in

The yellow stud with wild eye

The feared hated man

Finally standin' face to face

In the hot dusty sand

The battle starts and rages on eneath

The burning sun

The cowboy tried but couldn't

Ride the yellow outlaw stud

He sold him to a rodeo and

It spread throughout the land

The legend of this yellow stud

The baddest of the bad

And then one day in Cheyenne

We knew it had to come

The best of all bronc riders

He drew that yellow stud

The wooden gate flew open and

The stud had bailed out high

An explosion of yellow horse

Seemed to fill the sky

The sud kept getting stronger and

Thrashing up the earth

The cowboy blew a stirrup and

Crashed into the dirt

So violently the stud had bucked that

He slipped and fell

As he went back his backbone snapped

The yellow stud lay still

As the cowboys gathered round him

I heard one of 'em say

There'll never be another bronc like

The one that died today

But out there on the praire there's

A mare with mustang blood

And a colt runs close behind her

A yellow outlaw stud
