| The Fifes trace this piece back to something called "Halbert the Grim" (published by Motherwell in 1827). The melody is said to be the same, and both involve vast quantities of blood. There has been a lot of evolution along the way, though; I would not consider the two related if it weren't for the melody. |
There was blood on the saddle, blood all around And a great big puddle of blood on the ground The cowboy lay in it, all covered with gore He'll never ride tall in the saddle no more |
Oh pity the cowboy, all bloody and dead A bronco fell on him and mashed in his head. |
