Ian Tyson - MC Horses lyrics

We were having a drink at Stockman's,
Listenin' to the guitars ring
Jesse said "You know,they sold the MC horses"
"I'll be damnedWhen 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 MC
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 MC 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

If you ever have beer at the Aydell Store
Say hi to Chuck and Annie
They'll show you them big ol' steer heads up there hangin'
When you ask where have they gone?
Hell, they're gone like the MC cavvy
Back in August--100 head and more

Repeat Chorus

We were having a drink at Stockman's
Way out on the sagebrush sea
Jesse said "You know, they sold the MC horses"
