Scene We All Ain't Saw

Old Badger was an outlaw that no man could ever ride

So tough the devils pitch fork couldn't penetrate his hide

To beat him was the dream of every cowboy in the land

But try they might as sure is right they'll wind up in the sand

A brag came up from Texas by the name of Too Oaks Tall

Was out to get old Badger cause old Too Oaks rode 'em all

He said he'd tie a granny knot in Badger's twisting tail

So thousands came to stake his claim or to see how bad he'd fail

A mighty crowd had gathered with old Badger in the cute

The stirrups felt the boating weight of Too Oaks heavy boots

Then the cute swang open and the crowd began to roar

Cause shirt tail feet upon the seat like waves upon a shore

They circled that area Badger pawing out his hate

But Tall stuck in the saddle like his tail was made of paste

Badger then exploded as his hooves beat on the air

But Tall did stay like children's play in grandmas rockin' chair

The outlaw's eyes were blazin' and old Talls face was turnin' red

They take off to the right but wind up goin' left instead

They busted through the fence and crashed the stillness of the night

They filled the air with dust and hair and vanished out of sight

Some say they died of thirst and time turned them into stone

Others say they withered and buzzards picked their bones

But somewhere on that prairie is a scene we all ain't saw

Did Tall get throwed or Badger rode or was it called a draw
