That devilish contraption
ofsteel and wire,,,
1:12:06
kept bouncin´ that poor gal
higher and higher,
1:12:09
Soon it was plain
to the multitude,,,
1:12:12
that Sue was
a-gainin´altitude,
1:12:14
Sure looked like
she was a goner,
1:12:17
But no,
Here come a ray ofhope,
1:12:19
Look! I t were Bi I l
and his trusty rope.
1:12:23
He´d durn soon
put a stop to this,
1:12:26
- Shucks, Bill was never knowed to miss,
- [ Crash ]
1:12:30
Bill was calm, confident,
1:12:34
He built his loop
with careless ease,
1:12:36
He judged his distance,
tested the breeze,
1:12:41
Then a whirl and a twirl
and a twist ofthe wrist,
1:12:44
He let ´er go,,,
1:12:49
but the champeen missed,
1:12:52
How it come to happen,
nobody could ever figure out,
1:12:57
## [ Whistl i ng ]
1:13:02
She was offagain
on her heavenly flight,
1:13:06
Up, up she went,
clean out ofsight,
1:13:09
till far into space
this unfortunate maid,,,
1:13:13
finally come to the moon,
1:13:16
and that´s where she stayed,
1:13:19
In the state ofTexas,
U,S,A,,
1:13:22
Iife still goes on
in the same old way,,,
1:13:26
and the Pecos River
still flows on,
1:13:29
but the greatest cowboy
on Earth,,,
1:13:32
is gone,
1:13:34
Yeah, Bill went back
to the coyotes,
1:13:37
but he never forgot Sue,
1:13:40
And every night,
when the moon ris´high,
1:13:42
he´d lift his voice
in mournful cry,
1:13:45
- [ Howl i ng ]
- Bewailin´ the fate ofhis lady fair,
1:13:48
his long lost love
in the sky up there,
1:13:51
- [ Howling Continues ]
- So painful was his griefto see,
1:13:54
the varmints joined in
out ofsympathy,
1:13:58
And that´s how come,
to this very day,
