Tipperary

Way out in old South Dakota
Where flows the ole River Grande
Once roamed the greatest bronco
Who was known all over this land. 

His name was ole Tipperary
Tipperary of Rodeo Fame
The greatest of all the bronc riders
Will never forget that Great name

The Grandstand at Belle Fourche was crowded
‘Twas on the Fourth of July
Tipperary, the king of the Outlaws
Came out of the chutes on the fly

He went to frog walkin’ and buckin’
And then did an old Spanish dance
With a Be Bopp thrown in for good measure
And a quadrille imported from France

His rider was neatly unloaded;
That Buster was sure badly shook
And when he came back down from heaven
Tipperary was back in Camp Crook

His fame had spread o’er this nation
From Buffalo on the Banks of the Grande
To home and the big eastern cities
And the Bighorns way up in Montan
