Long ago when I was a kid, in grade five we had a music teacher who made us learn this song, by Tex Ritter, Blood on the Saddle {Buy}



Don't ask me why I remember this song 35 years later, but I can sing almost every word and note (off key of course)

There was blood on the saddle and blood all around
And a great big puddle of blood on the ground

A cowboy lay in it all covered with gore
And he never will ride any broncos no more

Oh, pity the cowboy, all bloody and red
For the bronco fell on him and bashed in his head

There was blood on the saddle and blood all around
And a great big puddle of blood on the ground

The song I remember is Kookaburra. It may never leave me.
