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
Meaner than sin,wild as the wind
That blew on the Montana plains
Old Red was one of the last of it's kind
And wasn't about to be tamed
From Idaho,a young cowboy came
To ride at the big rodeo
The young cowboy's name was Billy McLean.
And Billy had never been thrown
The meanest desire filled young Billy's heart
To ride this old outlaw called Red
He drew him one day and I heard Billy say
