Marty Robbins - Queen Of The Big Rodeo lyrics
rate meGather 'round cowboys I'll tell you a tale<br />
A story that's hard to be told<br />
Of a trick ridin' cowgril we loved and we called<br />
The queen of the big roder<br />
<br />
Wherever she went she was always acclaimed<br />
As the greatest of trick ridin' girls<br />
Perfection and beauty were her's all alone<br />
She was strickly the best in the world<br />
<br />
Cowboys and cowgirls remarked of her charm<br />
And a smile that brightened the world<br />
Admired and chosen by many a man<br />
As the best of the trick ridin' girls<br />
<br />
One night in Houston the crowd was so big<br />
There was forty-five thousand or more<br />
She had just about finished her act for the night<br />
One more trick the crowd waited for<br />
<br />
A dangerous trick at the horse's full speed<br />
A trick that had never been tried<br />
Cowboys and cowgirls both knew if she failed<br />
If she fell she could easily die<br />
<br />
The ride was perfection and almost complete<br />
Suddenly somethin' went wrong<br />
The sinch gave away and she lost control<br />
And at full speed she fell to the ground<br />
<br />
Not one muscle moved as she lay where she fell<br />
She's unconscious, one bronc buster said<br />
But the doctor removed any doubt from our minds<br />
When he said, the young cowgirl was dead<br />
<br />
Not one livin' soul in the crowd made a move<br />
They all knew that somethin' was wrong<br />
As they took her away from the place where she lay<br />
They knew the young cowgirl was gone<br />
<br />
Cowboys just stood there with hats in their hands<br />
Their heads were bowed ever so low<br />
Not one eye was dry as we whispered, goodbye<br />
To the queen of the big rodeo
