lyrics

Muley Brown rode saddle broncs like they were broke to ride
with one hand on the halter rope as he marked them up the side
he would laugh and cuss and call them names
while they fishtailed around
singing Muley, Muley Brown.

Muley drove a truck back in 1943
he was pulling a set of doubles with a beat up Diamond-T
but the cowboy’s life was calling him, he felt it deep inside
and Muley meant to ride

Muley, that horse can really fly, you almost touched the sky
feel him hit the ground
Muley, that horse is swappin’ ends, he just aint got no friends
try and ride him ‘til the whistle sounds

He rode the stock at Calgary and out in Pendleton
he fought a lot of saddle broncs and often times he won
then he took up riding bareback broncs and bulls for something new
all around cowboy, 1952

Then Muley started drinking hard, begun to lose his grip
all the other cowboys saw that he’d begun to slip
he took up slack to keep that horse’s head from goin’ down
and Muley hit the ground

Muley, that bronc’s got ways of knowin’ just which way you’re goin’
and he’ll lose you on a turn
Muley, there’s daylight on the saddle, it looks like you lost the battle
oh Muley, when will you ever learn

Now Muley Brown is hauling stock for the rodeo company
he’s pulling a set of doubles with a beat up GMC
he sold his old Association saddle for a song
Muley, what went wrong

Muley, them broncs’ got ways of knowin just which way you’re going’
and they’ll lose you on a turn
Muley, there’s daylight on the saddle, it looks like you lost the battle
singin’ Muley, when will you ever learn

Muley Brown rode saddle broncs like they was broke to ride
