Navajo Wrangler Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

Between Gallup and Shiprock, he was born in a Hogan 

And his spirit was as free as an eagle flies 

Deep in the canyons out in Arizona 

He broke his first pony before he turned five 

He learned how to hide in the branches of the canyons 

The young riders herded the wild horses by 

Then quick as a bobcat he closed in the willows 

And a new crop of Mustangs were waitin' inside 

He's a Navajo wrangler, an Indian cowboy 

Bridles and saddles just get in his way 

There ain't another on the whole reservation 

Like the Navajo wrangler from canyon de Chelly 

He never breaks horses with his spurs or a saddle 

Just uses a blanket and a firm gentle hand 

He's known far and wide from Chinle to Red Rock 

And there ain't a horse he can't ride on the Navajo land
