Inspired by The Cowboy’s Lament written by Anonymous located in A Children’s Book of Verse, Illustrated by Eric Kincaid, Poems selected by Marjorie Rogers. (Brimax Books)
Click click goes spurs worn worn down many trails of cattle rustle
Rough broke in they spoke of work work and mean ornery meaness
Sing yeh hi they clamored to gently knee a horse on galloping wild and free
Can you walk in my boots says one cowboy to a soft hand citizen? No, I doubt it so please leave me be
Snapping to a tune of good ole country they spryly dance almost by themselves to a tune of square
Singing a song all of their own we are buried with our owner on the top of the casket with dirt within
