Lyrics
I'm an old bronco rider with nothing to do
to old to ride, to old to chew
slappin' skeeters is how I pass time
when the moose in the pond - he caught my eye
2. With my old horse leanin' against the barn
Old Blue sleepin' in the sun, so warm
I started sneekin' across the back lawn
and I just up and jumped on the moose in the pond
(chorus)
There's a moose in the pond, a bear in the tree
elk on the run and their all after me
I gotta do something 'for the summers all gone
so I just up and jumped on the moose in the pond
Ro-de-o, de-oldle, la-dee
Ro-de-o, de-oldle, la-dee
I just up and jumped on the moose in the pond
3. Well he started buckin' and bitin' at me
I never knew prayin' came so naturally
he took me flyin' to the mountain top
every toe started diggin' when my boots flew off
4. Two hands full of moose and I hit the ground
for ten miles or so he chased me around
some folks think the life in this old body's gone
but you just go talk to the moose in the pond
(chorus)
There's a moose in the pond, a bear in the tree
elk on the run and their all after me
I gotta do something 'for the summers all gone
so I just up and jumped on the moose in the pond
Ro-de-o, de-oldle, la-dee
Ro-de-o, de-oldle, la-dee
I just up and jumped on the moose in the pond
