C G7 C
If you ever go out to the circus
G
Where the Wallendas walk on the wire
C F
I'll tell you a tale to remember
C G7 C
When the white horses leap rings of fire
C G7 C
It was a cold night in Oklahoma
G
The show was about to begin
C F
The animals they were all restless
C G7 C
When the star-horse she broke from her pen
C G7 C
Well, she was a mare of high spirits
G
Like a whore on a Saturday night
C F
Just a-kickin' and a-buckin' while the men were a-brushin'
C G7 C
The elephants lined on the side
C G7 C
Now close to the tent sat a lantern
G
It was dangerously close to the hay
C F
That mare headed straight for that lantern
C G7 C
Some fool had left there by mistake
C G7 C
Then up jumps an Indian Cowboy
G
And his lasso he throws through the air
C F
Smack-dab in the middle of danger
C G7 C
He ropes the runaway mare
C G7 C
And the elephants raised up their trumpets
G
And one of them broke from her chains
C F
Stampeded that Indian Cowboy
C G7 C
Who just saved the big-top from flames
C G7 C
If you ever go out to the circus
G
Where the Wallendas walk on the wire
C F
Remember that Indian Cowboy
C G7 C
When the white horses leap rings of fire
