A Cowboy's Worrying Love
Just hain't no energy left no mo', go 'round like a
orphant calf
A-thinkin' about that sagehen's eyes that give me the
Cupid gafl,
An' I'm all skeered up when I hit the thought some
other rider might
Cut in ahead on a faster hoss an' rope her afore my
sight.
There ain't a heifer that ever run in the feminine
beauty herd
Could switch a tail on the whole durned range 'long-
side o5 that little bird;
A figger plump as a prairy dog's that's feedin' on
new spring grass,
An' as purty a face as was ever flashed in front of
a lookin' glass.
She's got a smile that 'd raise the steam in the icyist
sort o' heart,
A couple o' soul inspirin' eyes, an' the nose that keeps
'em apart
Is the cutest thing in the sassy line that ever oc-
curred to act
As a ornament stuck on a purty face, an' that's a
dead open fact.
I'm a-goin' to brace her by an' by*to.see if there's
any hope,
To see if she's liable to shy when I'm ready to pitch
the rope;
