A Little Bitty Steer Let Me Down Ukulele tab

	  Note 1: This song is a parody of Burl Ives 'A Little Bitty Tear'. 
Note 2: Ben Colder was really Shep Wooley (who did Purple People Eater in 
the late 50s). Wooley did many humorous songs under the name Ben 
Colder. 


Intro: Instrumental: Follow pattern of two CAPITALIZED lines* 

(D) Oh I thought that I would like to be a (A) cow person 
So I went to a (A7) big rode-(D)-o 
I signed on (D7) as a bull (G) rider 
Every-(D)-one said that (A) I would stop the (D) show 

But a little bitty steer let me (A) down 
Drove my (A7) head in the (D) ground 
*THE SON-OF-A-GUN (D7) REALLY CAME UN-(G)-WOUND 
*A (D) LITTLE BITTY (A) STEER LET ME (D) DOWN 

Well he chased me around the a-(A)-rena 
His hot snortin' (A7) breath I could (D) feel 
I said I just (D7) want to be a (G) cowboy 
And (D) this wasn't (A) part of the (D) deal 

Oh a little bitty steer let me (A) down 
Drove my (A7) head in the (D) ground 
The son-of-a-gun (D7) really came un-(G)-wound 
Oh a (D) little bitty (A) steer let me (D) down 

Instrumental: Same as Intro 

(D) Everyone there was in (A) stitches 
We really did put (A7) on quite a (D) show 
'Cause the seat was (D7) out of my (G) britches 
And I (D) showed him how (A) fast I could (D) go 

Oh a little bitty steer let me (A) down 
Drove my (A7) head in the (D) ground 
The little son-of-a-gun he (D7) really came un-(G)-wound
