M.c. Horses Lyrics - Ian Tyson

We were having a drink at Stockman's, 

Listenin' to the guitars ring. 

Jesse said "You know,they sold the M.C. horses." 

"I'll be damned.When was that?" I hadn't heard a thing. 

"Back in August--100 head and more." 

Yeah, the people they come from everywhere 

Just to bid on 'em high and low 

And thereby own a piece of the legend. 

With the cow herd all dispersed the old cavvy she had to go. 

Back in August--100 head and more. 

Chorus: 

So come on boy, run 'em in. We're gonna let this sale begin. 

Last of the big remudas of the mightly M.C. 

There's horses here for everyone. 

Saddle 'em kids let's get her done. 

By the time that Oregon sun goes down 

This outfit's history--this outfit's history. 

So the M.C. crew they rode 'em all 

And the people all gathered 'round. 

One ol' boy gave two grand for Banjo. 

Banjo took his trailer apart 

When he tired to load him up for town 

Back in August-- 100 head and more. 

If you ever have beer at the Aydell Store 

Say hi to Chuck and Annie. 

They'll show you them big ol' steer heads up there hangin'. 

When you ask where have they gone? 

Hell, they're gone like the M.C. cavvy 

Back in August--100 head and more. 

Repeat Chorus 

We were having a drink at Stockman's 

Way out on the sagebrush sea. 

Jesse said "You know, they sold the M.C. horses."
