larosse - bruce robison lyrics

[chorus]
pardon me mister, i’ve come a ways down
they tell me you’re the man that you see in this town

[verse 1]
that bay there is all i got left to my name
he’ll never give up and he’ll never go lame
fifty dollars, and he’s yours tonight
his name is larosse for the sound of his breath
i was there when he’s born and he carried me west
saw the heavens draw open on god’s golden plain
said we never would go back again
but i’m tired of the look on his face

[chorus]
pardon me mister, i’ve come a ways down
they tell me you’re the man that you see in this town

[verse 2]
the bay there is all i got left to my own
he’ll never give up and he’ll never go wrong
fifty dollars, and he’s yours tonight
a little long in the tooth and he won’t win no race
but he walked many a mile for a scratch on his face
travels as smooth as a robin will fly
only horse that my little girl ever would ride
though since, she caught the fever and she died
[bridge:]
he climbed all the rockies with a fire in his eye
flew down the mountain with an indian cry
felt the sun warmin’, saw some fine mornings
but there ain’t no where left to go

[chorus]
pardon me mister, a minute or two
this horse is the finest that i ever knew

[verse 3]
when i built me my cabin outside chester town
he dragged every timber with never a sound
but we left all we had there beneath the cold ground

[chorus]
pardon me, mister, oh, your on your way home
i’ve got this old horse and there’s a snow comin’ on

[verse 4]
i traded my saddle, so i got no use
he ain’t much to look at, and he’s needing some shoes
ten dollars, and he’s yours tonight
that’s a deal, get him out of my sight

[outro]
his name is larosse for the sound of his breath
i was there when he’s born and he carried me west
