T'S Jim Farrow and John Farrow and little Simon^ too, Have plenty of cattle where I have but few. Marking and branding both night and day,— It's " Keep still, boys, my boys, and you'll all get your
pay." It's up to the courthouse, the first thing they know, Before the Grand Jury they'll have to go. They'll ask you about ear-marks, they'll ask you
about brand, But tell them you were absent when the work was
on hand. Jim Farrow brands J. F. on the side; The next comes Johnnie who takes the whole hide; Little Simon, too has H. on the loin; — All stand for Farrow but it's not good for Sime. You ask for the mark, I don't think it's fair, You'll find the cow's head but the ear isn't there It's a'crop and a split and a sort of a twine,— All stand for F. but it's not good for Sime.
" Get up, my boys," Jim Farrow will say, " And out to horse hunting before it is day." So we get up and are out on the way But it's damn few horses we find before day. " Now saddle your horses and out on the peaks
