Ballad of Dan Toe

Intro:

Em-D-C-B--D



G Em

Come all you cowboys and hear what I say

F C F G

The legend of Dan Toe still lives today

G C

When I was a boy, I rode with a man

G F G

...and I still can remember what happened to Dan.



He knew the frontier from the east to the west

Wore a lone star of silver, proud on his chest

He wrestled a cyclone or so I am told

He proved he was brave in those days of old (?)



When the rivers of Texas grew dangerously high

We kept Dan a laugin for fear he would die

And his tears would surely flow

To the gulf of Mexico



CHORUS:

D C G

With a Navajo rug and a quart in his jug he would sing

C G

I remember it well

D C G

A teacher of lessons his black Smith and Wesson would ring

B

Like a bell

C G

At night he would dance the fandango

C G

On the mesas outside of durango

C

The women would holler

G

And throw down a dollar

B

to drink from his well.



Jam

Dan told us stories before we`d retire

And spirits would dance round the flames of the fire

He told us of rednecks no long to have known

No long will those flickering campfires glown



Dan had a sweeheart who fear for his life

When a rattlesnake came between her and a knife

Dan Toe snuck up from behind her

And Danny took the bite from that ol` sidewinder



C Am

As the light of last sun faded from his eyes

Em D

She kept Dan a laughin for fear he would die

G

And his tears would surely flow

F G

To the Gulf of Mexico



CHORUS



Jam



Dan`s dead and gone and I`m growing old

And I never could save that silver and gold

But I still have my fiddle and I still have my bow

And I make myself (something) where ever I go



CHORUS



Jam->End
