Dave Stamey - Dude String Trail Lyrics
Out here on the eastern slopeI got horses, mules and sway back nagsAnd I dang near givin' up hopeOf ever keepin' my head above waterIt's enough to make you loose your mindThem dudes show up with a credit cardAnd I listen to 'em as they whineAnd I lead 'em up the canyonWith my hat low over my eyesMy old pards from the buckaroo daysWouldn't know me in this disguiseFor I use to be hell and hardyAnd now I'm thin and paleFrom showin' these gunsels the heart of the westOn the dad blamed dude string trailAnd I said don't let em eat, step in the seatWe'll stop so you can take a pitureAnd if your pony tries to quit the trailJust shout and I'll come and get yaWell son don't wave that jacket aroundLady could you calm your little girl downWell they don't bounce much when they hit the groundOut here on the dude string trailEvery one of 'ems an expert horsemanReady to astound you with what they knowThere's house wives 'n sailor's and CPAsAnd ever one of 'em use to ride rodeoThey show up in skirts 'n sandalsAnd shorts way up on their thighsAnd they thump 'em with their healsAnd they jerk on the rainsAnd them ponies just role their eyesAnd I said don't let 'em eat, step in the seatWe'll stop so you can take a pitureAnd if your pony tries to quit the trailJust shout and I'll come and get yaWell son don't wave that jacket aroundLady could you calm your little girl downWell they don't bounce much when they hit the groundOut here on the dude string trailOne day I'm goin to sell outAnd I'm gettin' me a place in townWhere the mules don't brayAnd the horses don't nayAnd there ain't no dudes aroundAnd I'll dig ditchesAnd I'll clean sewersN' pick up litter fer paySo long as I'm one hundred fifty milesFrom any place I might have to sayDon't let 'em eat, step in the seatWe'll stop so you can take a pitureAnd if your pony tries to quit the trailJust shout and I'll come and get yaWell son don't wave that jacket aroundLady could you calm your little girl downWell they don't bounce much when they hit the groundOut here on the dude string trailYo-de-le-o do-loe-o-e
