When Bob Got Throwed
D'you reckon Bob looked sad and said,
" I hope that you ain't hurt! "
Naw! He just laffed and laffed and laffed
To see me chewin' dirt.
I've been prayin' ever since
For his horse to turn his pack;
And when he done it, I'd a laffed
If it had broke his back.
So I was still a-howlin'
When Bob, he got up lame;
He seen his horse had run clean off
And so for me he came.
He first chucked sand into my eyes,
With a rock he rubbed my head,
Then he twisted both my arms,—
" Now go fetch that horse," he said.
So I went and fetched him back,
But I was feelin' good all day;
For I sure enough do love to see
A feller get throwed that way.
Ray.
