The Ol Cow Hawse
On the range a-huntin' cattle or a-lopin' into town,
An' he'll leave the miles behind him, an' he'll never
sweat a hair,
'Cuz he's a willin' critter when he's goin' anywhere.
Oh, your thoroughbred at runnin' in a race may be
the boss,
But fer all day ridin' lemme have the
or
Cow
Hawse 1
When my soul seeks peace and quiet on the home
ranch of the blest,
Where no storms or stampedes bother, an' the trails
are trails o' rest,
When my brand has been inspected an' pronounced
to be 0 K,
An' the boss has looked me over an' has told me I
kin stay,
Oh, I'm hopin' when I'm lopin' off across that
blessed range
That I won't be in a saddle on a critter new an'
strange,
But I'm prayin' every minnit Aat up there I'll ride
across
That big heaven range o' glory on an
or
Cow
Hawse!
E. A. Brinninstool.
