The Yellow Stud Lyrics

Chris LeDoux
The Yellow Stud
1st verse:
Somewhere on the prairie a yellow stud runs free,
runnin through the sagebrush 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.
2nd verse:
The chase goes on all mornin and late into th day
the cowboy changes horses he staked along the way
the stud is growin weaker now and gettin short of wind
he runs into a trap corral the cowboy shuts him in
3rd verse:
The yellow stud with wild eyes, the feared, hated man
finally standin face to face in the hot, dusty sand
the battle starts and rages on beneath the burnin sun
the cowoboy tried but couldn't ride this yellow outlaw stud.
4th verse:
(recitation) He sold him to a rodeo, and it spread thoughout the land
the legend of this yellow stud, the baddest of the bad
(sing)And then one day at cheyenne we knew it had to come
the best of all bronc riders, he drew that yellow stud
5th verse:
the wooden gate few open and the stud had bailed out high
an explosion of yellow horse seemed to fill the sky
the stud kept gettin stronger and thrashin up the earth
the cowboy blew a stirrup and crashed into the dirt.
6th verse:
so violently the stud had bucked that he slipped and fell.
as he went down his backbone snapped
the yellow stud lay still
7th verse:
(recitation)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 prairie there's a mare with mustang blood
and a colt runs close beside her, a yellow outlaw stud.
