The Legend of Big Hat Joe

[Verse] In a dusty ol' town, where the tumbleweeds blow, There lived a tall cowboy, they called him Big Hat Joe. His hat was as wide as the Rio Grande, Bigger than the stories, too big for any man. [Verse 2] He'd ride into town, with a tip of his hat, Casting a shadow where the sun couldn't pass. Folks would all gather, just to admire, The cowboy whose hat reached the telegraph wire. [Chorus] Big Hat Joe, you stood so tall, With a brim so wide, it could cover us all. But oh, Big Hat Joe, your story’s so sad, That massive hat broke your neck, my lad. [Verse 3] One day in the square, as he tipped it to Jill, The weight of his hat delivered the kill. He fell to the ground, like a toppled tree, His hat laid beside him, as big as can be. [Verse 4] They laid him to rest, in a coffin so wide, With his massive hat right there by his side. Now legends are told, 'round every campfire, Of the cowboy's hat that reached up to the sky. [Chorus] Big Hat Joe, you stood so tall, With a brim so wide, it could cover us all. But oh, Big Hat Joe, your story’s so sad, That massive hat broke your neck, my lad.
