Navajo Wrangler Songtext
von Chris LeDoux

Between Gallup and Shiprock he was born in a Hogan
And his spirit was free as an eagle flies
Deep in the canyons out in Arizona
He broke his first pony before he turned five

He learned how to hide in the branches of the canyons
While the young riders herded the wild horses by
Then quick as a bobcat he closed in the willows
And a new crop of Mustangs were waitin′ inside


He's a Navajo wrangler, an Indian cowboy, bridles and saddles just get in his way
There ain′t another on the whole reservation
Like the Navajo wrangler from Canyon de Chelly

He never breaks horses with his spurs or a saddle
Just uses a blanket and a firm gentle hand
He's known far and wide from Chinle to Red Rock
Ain't a horse he can′t ride on the Navajo land

He′s a Navajo wrangler, an Indian cowboy, bridles and saddles just get in his way
There ain't another on the whole reservation
Like the Navajo wrangler from Canyon de Chelly

He′s a Navajo wrangler, an Indian cowboy, bridles and saddles just get in his way
There ain't another on the whole reservation
Like the Navajo wrangler from Canyon de Chelly
