| Lyrics: | THE BUCKING BRONCO
My love is a rider, wild horses he breaks,
But he promised to
quit it all just for my sake;
He sold off his saddle, his spurs, and his rope,
And
there'll be no more riding, and that's what I hope.
The first time I saw him was early
last spring,
A-riding a bronco, a high-headed thing;
He laughed and he talked as they
danced to and fro
He promised he'd not ride no other bronco.
My love has a gun that
has gone to the bad,
Which makes all the ladies to feel very sad;
He give me some
presents, among them a ring
But the return I gave him was a far better thing.
Now,
all you young ladies that live on the Platte
Don't marry the cowboy who wears a white
hat;
He'll pet you and court you and then be will go
And ride up the trail on another
bronco.
