Ben Colder: A Little Bitty Steer Let Me Down

Resubmitted by GMWNS

Note 1: This song is a parody of Burl Ives 'A Little Bitty Tear'.

Note 2: Ben Colder was really Shep Wooley (who did Purple People Eater in

the late 50s). Wooley did many humorous songs under the name Ben

Colder.

Intro: Instrumental: Follow pattern of two CAPITALIZED lines

(D) Oh I thought that I would like to be a (A) cow person

So I went to a (A7) big rode-(D)-o

I signed on (D7) as a bull (G) rider

Every-(D)-one said that (A) I would stop the (D) show

But a little bitty steer let me (A) down

Drove my (A7) head in the (D) ground

(D)THE SON-OF-A-GUN (D7) REALLY CAME UN-(G)-WOUND

A (D) LITTLE BITTY (A) STEER LET ME (D) DOWN

Well he chased me around the a-(A)-rena

His hot snortin' (A7) breath I could (D) feel

I said I just (D7) want to be a (G) cowboy

And (D) this wasn't (A) part of the (D) deal

Oh a little bitty steer let me (A) down

Drove my (A7) head in the (D) ground

The son-of-a-gun (D7) really came un-(G)-wound

Oh a (D) little bitty (A) steer let me (D) down

Instrumental: Same as Intro

(D) Everyone there was in (A) stitches

We really did put (A7) on quite a (D) show

'Cause the seat was (D7) out of my (G) britches

And I (D) showed him how (A) fast I could (D) go

Oh a little bitty steer let me (A) down

Drove my (A7) head in the (D) ground

The little son-of-a-gun he (D7) really came un-(G)-wound

Oh a (D) little bitty (A) steer let me (D) down

Instrumental Ending: Same as Intro
