Bronco Buster Flynn

Joe Hill
Language: English




I got your picture, Buster 1 dear,
A-riding on a pony.
Your pony is a real one too,
You wouldn't have a »phoney«.

Buster Flynn 1, he sure is game,
His eyes are full of luster.
I think we'd better change his name
And call him Bronco Buster (1)

When you grow up to be a man
Be always »rough and ready«.
But never brag about it though
Like windy »Bull Moose Teddy« (2)

Buster Flynn, he sure is game,
His eyes are full of luster.
I think we'd better change his name
And call him Bronco Buster.

And by and by you'll ride out West
Like Cow-boys that you've read of.
But don't fall off your pony dear
And break your little head off.

Buster Flynn, he sure is game,
His eyes are full of luster.
I think we'd better change his name
And call him Bronco Buster.

(1) refers to Fred »Buster« Flynn, son to Elizabeth Gurley Flynn (1890 - 1964), a labor leader, activist and feminist

(2) refers to Theodore »Teddy« Roosevelt and his Progressive Party, known as the Bull Moose Party
