Chopo

Through Rocky arroyos so dark and so deep
Down sides of mountains so slippery and steep
Sure footed good judgment wherever you go
You're a safety conveyance my little Chopo

Whether single or double or lead of a team
Over highways and biways or crossing a stream
You're always in fix and willing to go
Whenever you're called upon my little Chopo

Oh Chopo my Pony
Chopo my pride
Chopo mi amigo
Chopo I'll ride
From Mexico's border
Cross Texas Llano
To the Salt Pecos River
I ride you Chopo

A good ropin' horse you were never jerked down
When tied to a steer, you circle him 'round
Once cross the string and over he'll go
You sabe the business my cowhorse Chopo

One night on the Llano a hailstorm began
Cattle stampeded, the horses all ran
The lightening it glittered, the cyclone did blow
You faced the sweet music my little Chopo

Oh Chopo my Pony
Chopo my pride
Chopo mi amigo
Chopo I'll ride
From Mexico's border
Cross Texas ya'know
To the Salt Pecos River
I ride you Chopo

Oh Chopo my Pony
Chopo my pride
Chopo mi amigo
Chopo I'll ride
From Mexico's border
Cross Texas ya'know
To the Salt Pecos River
I ride you Chopo
