Queen Of The Big Rodeo
Gather 'round cowboys I'll tell you a tale
A story that's hard to be told
Of a trick ridin' cowgril we loved and we called
The queen of the big roder
Wherever she went she was always acclaimed
As the greatest of trick ridin' girls
Perfection and beauty were her's all alone
She was strickly the best in the world
Cowboys and cowgirls remarked of her charm
And a smile that brightened the world
Admired and chosen by many a man
As the best of the trick ridin' girls
One night in Houston the crowd was so big
There was forty-five thousand or more
She had just about finished her act for the night
One more trick the crowd waited for
A dangerous trick at the horse's full speed
A trick that had never been tried
Cowboys and cowgirls both knew if she failed
If she fell she could easily die
The ride was perfection and almost complete
Suddenly somethin' went wrong
The sinch gave away and she lost control
And at full speed she fell to the ground
Not one muscle moved as she lay where she fell
She's unconscious, one bronc buster said
But the doctor removed any doubt from our minds
When he said, the young cowgirl was dead
Not one livin' soul in the crowd made a move
They all knew that somethin' was wrong
As they took her away from the place where she lay
They knew the young cowgirl was gone
Cowboys just stood there with hats in their hands
Their heads were bowed ever so low
Not one eye was dry as we whispered, goodbye
To the queen of the big rodeo
Rainha do Grande Rodeio
Reúnam-se, cowboys, vou contar uma história
Uma história difícil de se contar
Sobre uma cowgirl que amávamos e chamávamos
A rainha do grande rodeio
Onde quer que ela fosse, sempre era aclamada
Como a melhor das garotas de montaria
Perfeição e beleza eram só dela
Ela era, sem dúvida, a melhor do mundo
Cowboys e cowgirls comentavam sobre seu charme
E um sorriso que iluminava o mundo
Admirada e escolhida por muitos homens
Como a melhor das garotas de montaria
Uma noite em Houston, a multidão era imensa
Havia quarenta e cinco mil ou mais
Ela estava quase terminando seu ato da noite
Mais um truque que a plateia esperava
Um truque perigoso a toda velocidade do cavalo
Um truque que nunca tinha sido tentado
Cowboys e cowgirls sabiam que se ela falhasse
Se ela caísse, poderia facilmente morrer
A montaria era perfeita e quase completa
De repente, algo deu errado
A cinta se soltou e ela perdeu o controle
E a toda velocidade, caiu no chão
Nenhum músculo se moveu enquanto ela ficou onde caiu
Ela estava inconsciente, disse um domador
Mas o médico tirou qualquer dúvida de nossas mentes
Quando disse que a jovem cowgirl estava morta
Nenhuma alma viva na multidão se mexeu
Todos sabiam que algo estava errado
Enquanto a levavam do lugar onde caiu
Eles sabiam que a jovem cowgirl tinha partido
Os cowboys apenas ficaram ali com os chapéus nas mãos
As cabeças baixas, bem baixas
Nenhum olho estava seco enquanto sussurrávamos, adeus
Para a rainha do grande rodeio
