Dave Stamey - Spin That Pony Lyrics
Rode some good horses Californio styleWatched him for hours and he showed me a littleOf the old California he knew for awhileStarted young horses in Bosca te AdorUnto the two reign the old Spanish spadeBrought them along with two hands that were gentleSome fine reigning horses as ever were madeAnd he'd spin that pony hanging onto the reataHe hung from a rafter in the Willow Creek barnAnd I watched and I wondered man how could he do thatThen he'd change direction and spin him some moreRound and round, spinnin' and roundHad them big spurs that came from ChihuahuaThey never had ever raked hide nor hairThey had a nice jingle and when he rode byThey made pertty music that danced on the airLived in a shack with his wife named JuanitaShe cooked on a wood stove tortillas and beansAfter we'd eaten he said come I showWhat the word handle on a good cowhorse meansAnd he'd spin that pony hanging onto the reataHe hung from a rafter in the Willow Creek barnAnd I watched and I wondered man how could he do thatThen he'd change direction and spin him some moreRound and round, spinnin' and roundHe never did shout, he never did whisperHe had his own lingo that they understoodThe touch of a knee or the lift of a reinHis horses all gave him the best that they couldIn an old shed out behind his adobieI helped him to hang up his bridles and gearThat's where I discovered an old tarp that coveredThree trophy saddles won back many yearsAnd he'd spin that pony hanging onto the reataHe hung from a rafter in the Willow Creek barnAnd I watched and I wondered man how could he do thatThen he'd change direction and spin him some moreAnd he'd spin that pony hanging onto the reataHe hung from a rafter in the Willow Creek barnAnd I watched and I wondered man how could he do thatThen he'd change direction and spin him some moreRound and round, spinnin' and roundRound and round, spinnin' and roundRound and round, spinnin' and roundRound and round, spinnin' and roundRound and round, spinnin' and roundRound and round, spinnin' and round
