High Chin Bob
Way high up in the Mokiones, if you ever camp
there at night,
You'll hear a rukus among the stones that'll lift
your hair with fright;
You'll see a cow-hoss thunder by—a lion trail
along,
And the rider bold, with his chin on high, sings forth
his glory song:
" Oh, glory be to me! " says he, " and to my
mighty noose.
Oh, pardner, tell my friends below I took a
ragin' dream in tow,
And if I didn't lay him low, I never turned him
loose!"
From oral rendition.
