Her Bucking Ballet

Once upon a time, not so long ago, there was a blonde cowboy-girl who worked on a ranch in a very cold valley called Tuscarora, NV.

The girl's boss had a daughter called Annie, and Annie was the toughest, coolest,  baby buckaroo barbie that this cowboy-girl has ever met.

And because these two were pals and maybe became giggly girls during long truck rides, a tradition was born.

Annie "Let's say the bronco song."

Blonde Cowboy-girl "You'll help me this time?"

Annie "No. You say it. But I...I...I'll say the end."

Blonde Cowboy-girl "OK."


So today's post is for Annie...you're the only one I'd do this for...so here's your bronco song cowgirl.

Talkin' Bronc Ballet Blues by Dave Stamey

At a hack stable or brandin' pen Any place you might find some bow legged men Ask any old hand He's bound to say he's got the answer To the bronc balletIf your pony breaks in two There are certain things a fellah' needs to do If you follow his advice right down to the letter Your buck off average is bound to get better Only problem is, you can't find two in a thousand of em' that'l tell you the same thing There're those who'll tell ya it's in your seat And the way a fellow holds his feet You gota sit back a little and drop your heels Try it one time son see how it feels Others say the thing to do Is jerk him sideways a time or two Pull his head around to the left or the right And break his momentum, he'll give up the fight Oh yeah, don't forget to stay loose Others say to rake some fur Get agressive use your spurs Just jab them gut hooks into his side And bust him into a run it's easier to ride Probably won't go through a fence Stay relaxed now don't get tense And if he happens to run you underneath a tree Remember decapitation is preferable to a buck off, 'cus that can be embarrassing Don't worry pard, I bet they can sew that ear back on Some call it shameful to grab the horn Others say there is no scorn For those of us that have to go pullin' leather Because stayin' aboard is always better Problem is it happens way too fast Ain't got a chance to grab your slack Gives a grunt and he leaves the ground N' farts you off n' drags you around Hard to catch your breath when that happens Thing is the guys that tell you this stuff They kind of like it when things get rough They say they don't want you to break your neck But they do enjoy watchin' a good wreck They been bucked off themselves a time or two Ain't about to make it any easier for you And the secret they're keepin to themselves of course The best way to handle a snorty horse Is to let some other idiot ride him If you see your stirrups slap together above the saddle horn you're probably bucked off
