M.C. Horses lyrics

We were having a drink at Stockman's

Listenin' to the guitars ring

Jesse said "You know,they sold the M.C. horses."

"I'll be damned.When was that?" I hadn't heard a thing

"Back in August --100 head and more."

Yeah, the people they come from everywhere

Just to bid on 'em high and 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 and more

Chorus:

So come on boy, run 'em in. We're gonna let this sale begin

Last of the big remudas of the mightly M.C

There's horses here for everyone

Saddle 'em kids let's get her done

By the time that Oregon sun goes down

This outfit's history -- this outfit's 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 and more
