Then warily spake the Texas man: "A petition
and no complaint We here present, if the Law allows and the Marster
He thinks it fit; We-all agree to the things that be, but we're long-
ing for things that ain't, So we took a vote and we made a plan and here is
the plan we writ: — a' Give us a range and our horses and ropes} open
the Pearly Gate,
And turn us loose in the unfenced blue riding the sunset rounds,
Hunting each stray in the Milky Way and running the Rancho straight;
Not crowding the dogie stars too much on their way to the bedding-grounds.
"' Maverick comets thafs running wild, we}ll rope
'em and brand fe?n fair, So they'll quit stampeding the starry herd and scar-
ing the folks below, And we'll save 'em prime for the round-up time,
and we riders'll all be there, Ready and willing to do our work as we did in the
long ago. (tt We've studied the Ancient Landmarks, <Sir; Taurus, the Bear, and Mars, 20 |
