Calgary Snow
Recorded by Bobby Bare
Written by Dave Hickey
G D7
Last Friday she said to me hey Billy Joe
G
Did you know either me or the rodeo goes
C
So I packed up and left her in Waco
D7 G
And drove up to ride on the bulls in the Calgary snow
C D7
Saw a sign that said riders and hauled all my riggin' inside
Em
Where the fellers was a braggin'
A7 D7
And drawin' the stock we would ride
C D7
I was doin' the same 'til I looked at the name that I'd drawn
G
Then I stood there and silently cried
C D7 G
Oh you Calgary snow
C D7 G
I can't let the rodeo go
C D7 B7 Em
Hurt more than my pride when a bull I can't ride
C D7 G
Lays me low in the Calgary snow
D7
Well I knew I was beat in the hat when I drew him
G
And it started me drinkin' to think of the brute
C
Till I managed to wreck my left knee and my ankle
D7 G
Between the damn bull and the side of the chute
C D7
And I'm thinkin’ out loud as I fly through the clouds to the ground
Em A7 D7
Hey Billy maybe you ain't the most dynamite rider around
C D7
Cause you're kickin’ too late comin' out of the gate boy
G
But you’re great comin' gracefully down
C
Well I know that I'm blown in the chute on the first go around
D7 G
So I give 'em my ol' what the hell grin as I get off the ground
C
And right then I'm a thinkin' I ain't takin' to Calgary much
D7 G
Ain't nothin' back in my room but a broom I can use for a crutch
C D7 G
And it's cold Lord it's cold in the Calgary wind
C D7 G
When you're knowin' you gotta go ride the day money again
C D7 B7 Em
Ain't no whiskey no ether no Blanton's no pills
C D7 G
Gonna deaden the pain and the chill of the Calgary wind
C D7
But what more is a broken down rodeo cowboy to do
Em A7 D7
Stove-up in Canada watchin' his bruises turn blue
C D7
There's only one road gonna lead back to Waco and you
G
And it runs outta chute number two
repeat #3
