They picked me up and carried me in
And rubbed me down with an old stake-pin.
" That's the way they all begin;
You're doing well," says Brown.
*• And in the morning, if you don't die,
I '11 give you another horse to try."
" Oh, say, can't I walk? " says I.
Says he, " Yes — back to town."
I 've traveled up and I 've traveled down, I 've traveled this country round and round, I've lived in city and I've lived in town, But I've got this much to say: Before you try cow-punching, kiss your wife, Take a heavy insurance on your life, Then cut your throat with a barlow knife, — For it's easier done that way. |

THE TEXAS COWBOY
An old song, credited to Al Pease of Round Rock, Texas. J first hearditsung by J. Latham at La Luz, NewMexico.
Oh, I am a Texas cowboy, Far away from home; < If ever I get back to Texas I never more will roam. t
Montana is too cold for me And the winters are too long; Before the round-ups do begin, Our money is all gone. |
