[Verse 1]
G
Never was a finer breed than the steed that was Shamrock

                                          D                G
Plain to see by his conformation that he came from finest stock

                                         D                G
Daddy was a black mammoth jack, Mamma was a thoroughbred mare

                                                      D          G
Had four white feet wore a buckskin coat, wore a mohawk in his hair
[Chorus]
 C                                  G
Stood about nineteen hands, didn't need no kick to go

                                          D
Old Dood up top, deep in the saddle hollerin'

            G
Woah woah woah, woah woah woah
[Verse 2]
  G                               D                 G
Only ever had one rider, anyone else was gettin' bucked

                                      D                G
Cross any kind of land, through the rain and snow and muck

                                   D                 G
Sure footed as a billy goat with thirty-three inch ears
Clog dance on a snake with his front two feet and give coyotes the rear
  C                               G
Kick so hard it sent them up and out the stratosphere

                                       D              G
Make a coyote fly so far it wouldn't land until nеxt year
[Chorus]
            C                      G
From the hightop to the hollеr, no places Sham can't go

                                           D
Old Dood up top, deep in the saddle hollerin'

             G
Woah woah woah, Woah woah woah
[Verse 3]
G                                        D                 G
Ain't scared to cross that river, jump clear across that crik

                                    D                   G
Steed don't need no shoes when his hooves is one foot thick

                                               D                      G
Leather and tack can't hold him back and he'll bite right through a bit

                                            D              G
Rope bridle made of mooring line was the only thing that fit
[Chorus]
C                                 G
Hot on the bandit's trail, fence postin' through the snow

                                            D
Old Dood up top, high in the saddle hollerin'

       G
Go boy go, go boy go
Go boy go, go boy go
