The Indian Cowboy

Lyrics

If you ever go out to the circus
 Where the Wallendas walk on the wire
 Well I'll tell you a tale to remember
 When the white horses leap rings of fire
 It was a cold night in Oklahoma
 And the show was about to begin
 And the animals, they were all restless
 When the star horse, she broke from her pen
 Now she was a mare of high spirit
 Just like a whore on a Saturday night
 She's kicking and bucking past the men who was brushing
 The elephants lying on their sides
 Now next to the tent sat some lanterns
 And they was dangerously close to the hay
 And that mare headed straight for those lanterns
 That some fool had put there by mistake
 Ooh then up stepped some Indian cowboy
 And his lasso went whirling though the air
 And in the full dead middle of danger
 Ooh, he roped that runaway mare
 And then the elephants raised up their trumpets
 Two of them broke from their chains
 Stampeded that Indian cowboy
 Who had saved the Big Top from flames
 So if you ever go out to the circus
 Where the Wallendas walk on the wire
 You just remember that Indian Cowboy
 When the white horses leap rings of fire
 (Thank you)
