He seen the damnedest thing
It was the little blue roan
Outta Billy's string
With his center fire rig and Mccarthy reins
Carryin' the news to Mary
Thunder on the bed ground
Cavvy got spooked
Bull calf moaned
That's when the lid blew
By morning I could tell ya
There were more then a few
Carryin' the news to Mary
A prairie dog hole snags a pony's leg
Buckaroo takes a fall and it claims his fate
The wild bovine grind his bones to dust
His six shooter lays on the prairie to rust
Got to play your hand win, lose, or draw
Got to take a look-see to know what you saw
A riderless horse against a half-lit sky
Is a sobering sight when the wind is high
The night hawk said
He seen the damnedest thing
It was the little blue roan
Outta Billy's string
With his center fire rig and Mccarthy reins
Carryin' the news to Mary
Widow woman weepin', askin' everyone "why?"
Punchers at loss for words, tears in their eyes
Ol' blue standin' there pawin' at the ground
Windmill groanin' is the only other sound
When a man saddles up and starts makin' tracks
Ain't no way of knowin' if he's comin' back
Well, the night hawk said
He seen the damnedest thing
It was the little blue roan
Outta Billy's string
With his center fire rig and Mccarthy reins
Carryin' the news to Mary
Carryin' the news to Mary
Carryin' the news to Mary
Carryin' the news... To Mary
The night hawk said He seen the damnedest thing It was the little blue roan Outta Billy's string With his center fire rig and Mccarthy reins Carryin' the news to Mary Thunder on the bed ground Cavvy got spooked Bull calf moaned That's when the lid blew By morning I could tell ya There were more then a few Carryin' the news to Mary A prairie dog hole snags a pony's leg Buckaroo takes a fall and it claims his fate The wild bovine grind his bones to dust His six shooter lays on the prairie to rust Got to play your hand win, lose, or draw Got to take a look-see to know what you saw A riderless horse against a half-lit sky Is a sobering sight when the wind is high The night hawk said He seen the damnedest thing It was the little blue roan Outta Billy's string With his center fire rig and Mccarthy reins Carryin' the news to Mary Widow woman weepin', askin' everyone "why?"
