Ian Tyson - M.C. Horses lyrics

Album: Eighteen Inches Of Rain (1994)

We were having a drink at Stockman´s,
Listenin´ to the guitars ring.
Jesse said "You know,they sold the M.C. horses."
"I will be damned.When was that?" I hadn´t heard a thing.
"Back in August--100 head & more."

Yea, the people they come from everywhere
Just to bid on em high & low
And thereby own a piece of the legend.
With the cow herd all dispersed the old cavvy she had to go.
Back in August--100 head & more.

Chorus:
So c´mon boy, run em in. We are going to let this sale begin.
Last of the big remudas of the mightly M.C.
Theres horses here for everyone.
Saddle em kids let´s get her done.
By the time that Oregon sun goes down
This outfit is history--this outfit is history.

So the M.C. crew they rode em all
And the people all gathered ´round.
One ol´ boy gave two grand for Banjo.
Banjo took his trailer apart
When he tired to load him up for town
Back in August-- 100 head & more.

If you ever have beer at the Aydell Store
Say hi to Chuck & Annie.
They will show you them big ol´ steer heads up there hangin´.
When you ask where have they gone?
Hell, they are gone like the M.C. cavvy
Back in August--100 head & more.

Repeat Chorus

We were having a drink at Stockman´s
Way out on the sagebrush sea.
Jesse said "You know, they sold the M.C. horses."
