Scene We All Ain't Saw
Legendary Showdown: Too Oaks Tall vs. Old Badger - A Tale of Unbridled Courage
Lyrics
Old Badger was an outlaw that no man could ever ride
Badger is a legendary outlaw that no one has successfully ridden.
So tough the devils pitch fork couldn't penetrate his hide
Badger is so tough that even the devil's pitchfork couldn't harm him.
To beat him was the dream of every cowboy in the land
Cowboys dream of beating Badger, but it's a challenging feat.
But try they might as sure is right they'll wind up in the sand
Despite attempts, those who try to ride Badger end up in the sand.
A brag came up from Texas by the name of Too Oaks Tall
Too Oaks Tall, a cowboy from Texas, aims to ride Badger.
Was out to get old Badger cause old Too Oaks rode 'em all
Too Oaks is determined to ride Badger because he has successfully ridden all other tough horses.
He said he'd tie a granny knot in Badger's twisting tail
Too Oaks claims he can tie a granny knot in Badger's tail.
So thousands came to stake his claim or to see how bad he'd fail
Thousands gather to witness Too Oaks' attempt to ride Badger.
A mighty crowd had gathered with old Badger in the cute
A large crowd gathers with Badger in the chute (a pen for holding animals).
The stirrups felt the boating weight of Too Oaks heavy boots
Too Oaks' heavy boots add weight to the stirrups.
Then the cute swang open and the crowd began to roar
The chute opens, and the crowd cheers as Too Oaks is on Badger.
Cause shirt tail feet upon the seat like waves upon a shore
Too Oaks' shirt-tail feet on Badger are likened to waves on a shore.
They circled that area Badger pawing out his hate
Badger is agitated, pawing the ground in anger.
But Tall stuck in the saddle like his tail was made of paste
Too Oaks stays firmly in the saddle despite Badger's actions.
Badger then exploded as his hooves beat on the air
Badger explodes, hooves beating the air, trying to unseat Too Oaks.
But Tall did stay like children's play in grandmas rockin' chair
Too Oaks stays on Badger like a child in a rocking chair.
The outlaw's eyes were blazin' and old Talls face was turnin' red
Badger's eyes are fierce, and Too Oaks' face turns red with effort.
They take off to the right but wind up goin' left instead
They go in the opposite direction of their intended path.
They busted through the fence and crashed the stillness of the night
They crash through a fence, disrupting the stillness of the night.
They filled the air with dust and hair and vanished out of sight
Dust and chaos fill the air as they disappear from sight.
Some say they died of thirst and time turned them into stone
Speculations arise about their fate—some say they died of thirst and turned to stone.
Others say they withered and buzzards picked their bones
Others suggest they withered, and buzzards picked their bones.
But somewhere on that prairie is a scene we all ain't saw
Somewhere on the prairie, there's a mysterious scene that remains unseen by all.
Did Tall get throwed or Badger rode or was it called a draw
Uncertainty lingers about whether Too Oaks fell or if it was a draw with Badger.
