Through Rocky aroyas so dark and so deep
Down sides of mountains so slippery and steep
Your sure footed good judgment wherever you go
Your safety conveyance my little Chopo
With a single or double or lead of a team
Over highways and biways or crossing a stream
You're always in fix and your willin' to go
Whenever you're called on my little Chopo
Oh Chopo my Pony, Chopo my pride
Chopo mi amigo, Chopo I'll ride
From Mexico's border 'cross Texas Llano
To the Salt Pecos River, I ride you Chopo
You're a good ropin' horse you were never jerked down
When tied to a steer, you'll circle him 'round
Let him once cross the string and over he'll go
You sabe the business my cowhorse Chopo
One night on the Yano a hailstorm began
Cattle stampeded, the horses all ran
The lightening it glittered, the cyclone did blow
You faced the sweet music my little Chopo
Oh Chopo my Pony, Chopo my pride
Chopo mi amigo, Chopo I'll ride
From Mexico's border 'cross Texas Llano
To the Salt Pecos River, I ride you Chopo
Oh Chopo my Pony, Chopo my pride
Chopo mi amigo, Chopo I'll ride
From Mexico's border 'cross Texas Llano
To the Salt Pecos River, I ride you Chopo
