A COWBOY'S SON |
||
|
||
W
HAR y'u from, little stranger, little boy?
Y'u was ridin' a cloud on that star-strewn plain, But y'u fell from the skies like a drop of rain To this world of sorrow and long, long pain. Will y'u care fo' yo' mothah, little boy? When y'u grows, little varmint, little boy,
Y'u'll be ridin' a hoss by yo' fathah's side With yo' gun and yo' spurs and yo' howstrong pride. Will y'u think of yo' home when the world rolls wide?
Will y'u wish for yo' mothah, little boy? When y'u love in yo' manhood, little boy,—
When y'u dream of a girl who is angel fair,— When the stars are her eyes and the wind is her hair,—
When the sun is her smile and yo' heaven's there,— Will y'u care for yo' mothah, little boy? Pocock in " Curley." |
