Queen Of The Rodeo - Jackie DeShannon

We pulled into Waco throwin' smoke and dust

Our pictures were on posters advertisin' us

I picked up the entry fee, got myself some gear

Gave her twenty dollars, Rena bought the beer

She was a queen of the rodeo

He was just a ten-gallon, ten-gallon joe

She was a queen of the rodeo

He was just a ten-gallon, ten-gallon joe

Rena kept her hair up 'til the judges called her name

And when she let it fall down they went insane

She rode the Appaloosa, oh she danced him to the ground

He took her through the wires, hell we busted that whole town

She was a queen of the rodeo

He was just a ten-gallon, ten-gallon joe

She was a queen of the rodeo

He was just a ten-gallon, ten-gallon joe

Days and nights got spent like lovers

And closer that two brothers

Her eyes sparkled like the Fourth of July

For a poor man’s rider

An old dust biter

Who went through fire

We pulled out of Waco throwin' smoke and dust

Our pictures were on posters advertisin' us

Up and down the old fairgrounds the truckers bowed their heads

Against the wind we never knew when me and the queen were kids

She was a queen of the rodeo

He was just a ten-gallon, ten-gallon joe
