    Chopo (The Horse, The Song)

    By Rachel Dennis | Cowboy Poetry | 0 comment | 15 March, 2017 | 0

    Chopo

    Through rocky arroyos so dark and so deep;
    Down the sides of the mountains so slippery and steep;
    You’ve good judgment, sure footed, wherever you go
    You’re a safety conveyance my little Chopo.

    Whether single or double, or in the lead of a team,
    Over highways or byways or crossing a stream,
    You’re always in fix and willing to go
    Whenever you’re called on, my Chico Chopo.

    You’re a good roping horse; you were never jerked down;
    When tied to a steer, you will circle him around;
    Let him once cross the string, and over he’ll go.
    You sabe the business, my cow horse Chopo.

    One day on the Llano, a hail storm began;
    The herds were stampeded, the horses all ran;
    The lightning it glittered, a cyclone did blow;
    But you faced the sweet music my little Chopo.

    Chopo my pony; Chopo, my pride;
    Chopo my amigo; Chopo I will ride
    From Mexico’s border ‘cross Texas Llanos;
    To the salt Pecos River, I ride you Chopo.

    by Jack Thorp from Songs of the Cowboys, 1921
