THE COWBOY AND THE MAID
F UNNY how it come about!
Me and Texas Tom was out
Takin' of a moonlight walk,
Fillin' in the time with talk.
'Every star up in the sky-
Seemed to wink the other eye
At each other, 'sif they
Smelt a mouse around our way!
Me and Tom had never grew
Spoony like some couples do;
Never billed and cooed and sighed;
He was bashful like and I'd
Notions of my own that it
Wasn't policy to git
Too abundant till I'd got
Of my feller good and caught.
As we walked along that night
He got talkin' of the bright
Prospects that he had, and I
Somehow felt, I dunno why,
That a-fore we cake-walked back
To the ranch he'd make a crack
