Mandrake
Written and recorded by Tex Morton 
 
C                               F
I've told you of Aristocrat and good old Rocky Ned
      G7                                           C
Their names will be remembered long after they are dead
                                      F               C
They've thrown the best of riders the greatest of all time
    F                 C         G7                 C
But now I'll tell you all about this new outlaw of mine
 
                                  F
We used to call him Slippery when he came with the show
      G7                                                     C
But I changed his name to Mandrake there's no trick he don't know
                                  F               C
He tries a new one every night he never bucks the same
   F          C                G7             C
Mandrake is a wizard so that's how he got his name
 
                      F
Screw down the saddle make it good and tight
C                                        G7
Back from the ropes please ask him is he right
C                     F
Pick up you mate lads he had a nasty fall
C                                G7            C
They're all the same to Mandrake champions and all
 
                              F
Now all you local riders come here and gather 'round
     G7                                             C
Stay on his back ten seconds and I'll pay a hundred pounds
                               F              C
The champion of Queensland got on to ride him round
   F             C           G7                C
He rode him just two seconds one up one coming down
 
                                   F
A fella came in the other night to show what he could do
   G7                                                       C
He thought that he'd be clever so he painted his pants with glue
                             F                C
Mandrake threw him easily he said huh I don't mind
       F               C                G7                     C
I says old chap take a look at yourself you've left your pants behind

Repeat #3

                               F
A new chum went up to the boys just the other night
G7                                                          C
Mandrake got mixed up in the ropes and gave him a heck of a fright
                                    F                C
What'll I do if he skips out of the ring I heard him say
        F             C                 G7              C
Why you jump into the ring then pal and you'll be quiet okay
 
                            F
I have a little saying it's one you ought to know
     G7                                      C
It's always been my motto of my traveling Rodeo
                            F              C
There never was a rider who never could be thrown
          F           C           G7             C
And there never was a bronco that never could be rode

Repeat #3
