Frontier ballads
A LAMENT
R AWHIDE" Smith's gone crazy. "Rawhide" was my pard. Used to be a daisy;
Say, it's mighty hard!
Down at Twin Buttes City "Rawhide" met a maid,
Young an' slim an' pretty An' she turned his haid.
We jest started dancin' Frolicsome an' gay —
Hang the pay-day prancin' When it ends that way!
