We were having a drink at Stockman's,  
Listenin' to the guitars ring. 
Jesse said "You know,they sold the M.C. horses." 
"I'll be damned.When was that?"  I hadn't heard a thing. 
"Back in August--100 head and more." 
 
Yeah, the people they come from everywhere 
Just to bid on 'em high and low 
And thereby own a piece of the legend. 
With the cow herd all dispersed the old cavvy she had to go. 
Back in August--100 head and more. 
 
Chorus: 
So come on boy, run 'em in.  We're gonna let this sale begin. 
Last of the big remudas of the mightly M.C. 
There's horses here for everyone.  
Saddle 'em kids let's get her done. 
By the time that Oregon sun goes down 
This outfit's history--this outfit's history. 
 
So the M.C. crew they rode 'em all 
And the people all gathered 'round. 
One ol' boy gave two grand for Banjo. 
Banjo took his trailer apart 
When he tired to load him up for town 
Back in August-- 100 head and more. 
 
If you ever have beer at the Aydell Store 
Say hi to Chuck and Annie. 
They'll show you them big ol' steer heads up there hangin'. 
When you ask where have they gone? 
Hell, they're gone like the M.C. cavvy 
Back in August--100 head and more. 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
We were having a drink at Stockman's 
Way out on the sagebrush sea. 
Jesse said "You know, they sold the M.C. horses."
