A COWBOY AT THE CARNIVAL
Y ES, o' cose it's interestin' to a feller from th
range,
Mighty queerish, too, I tell you,— sich a racket fe
a change;
From a life among the cattle, from a wool shir
and the chaps
To the biled shirt o' the city and the other ton
traps.
Never seed sich herds o' people throwed together
every brand
0' humanity, I reckon, in this big mountain land
Rounded up right here in Denver, runnin' on ne?
sort o' feed.
Actin' restless an' oneasy, like they threatened t<
stampede.
Mighty curious to a rider comin' from the range
he feels
What you'd call a lost sensation from sombrero cla
to heels;
Like a critter stray that drifted in a windstorm fron
its range
To another run o' grazin' where the brands it seei
are strange.
