One More Rodeo
By Dunn Clement

Intro:  G Em C D (play twice)

Chorus:

    G                         Em
She couldn’t stand to see him leave again,
    C                             D
He couldn’t stand to stay when he knew he could win.
    G                            Em
She cried and pleaded and begged him not to go,
       C                         D            G
But he promised her darlin’ just one more rodeo.

     G                            Em
When they got married she thought he’d settle down,
           C                          D
And they’d have a little ranch on the edge of town.
    G                         Em
He rode bucking horses and he rode ‘em real well,
      C                                D
He’d always bring home a check or it’d come in the mail.
    G                    Em
He stayed healthy he was in his prime,
C                           D
But she knew it was just a matter of time.

Chorus

    G                     Em
He left for Cheyenne even though she cried,
    C                             D
He drew a decent bronc but got a choice for a re-ride.
        G                     Em
He was sittin’ third when he started that ride,
       C                           D
And he drew a rank caballo named “Skoal Suicide.”
    G                                  Em
He rode him eight seconds and scored a winnin’ “95”,
          C                          D
But that horse flipped over and the cowboy died.

Chorus (last line a little different)

       C                         D            C   D
But he promised her darlin’ just one more rodeo…………
        C                    D                    G
Yeah he promised her darlin’ this was my last rodeo.
