[Verse 1]
D A7 D If you ever go out to the circus A Where the Wallendas walk on the wire D G I'll tell you a tale to remember D A7 D When the white horses leap rings of fire
[Verse 2]
D A7 D It was a cold night in Oklahoma A And the show was about to begin D G The animals they were all restless D A7 D When the star-horse broke from her pen
[Verse 3]
D A7 D Well, she was a mare of high spirit A Like a whore on a Saturday night D G Just a-kickin' and a-buckin' while the men were a-brushin' D A7 D The elephants lying on there sides
[Verse 4]
D A7 D Now close to the tent sat some lanterns A They were dangerously close to the hay D G That mare headed straight for those lanterns D A7 D Some fool had left by mistake
[Verse 5]
D A7 D Then up steps an Indian Cowboy A And his lasso went whirrlin through the air D G Smack-dab in the middle of danger D A7 D He roped that runaway mare
[Verse 6]
D A7 D And the elephants raised up their trumpets A And two of them broke from their chains D G Stampeded that Indian Cowboy D A7 D Who had saved the big-top from flames
[Verse 7]
D A7 D So if you ever go out to the circus A Where the Wallendas walk on the wire D G Remember that Indian Cowboy D A7 D When the white horses leap rings of fire
