THE COWBOY'S VALENTINE
S AY, Moll, now don't you 'How to quit
A-playin' maverick?
Sech stock should be corralled a bit
An' hev a mark 't '11 stick.
Old Val's a-roundin'-up today
Upon the Sweetheart Range,
'N me a-helpin', so to say,
Though this yere herd is strange
To me —'n yit, ef I c'd rope
Jes one to wear my brand
I'd strike f'r Home Ranch on a lope,
The happiest in the land.
Yo' savvy who I'm runnin' so,
Yo' savvy who I be ;
Now, can't yo' take that brand — yo' know,—
The V M-I-N-E.
C. F. Lummis.
