The Ride
Bet youse cain't guesses
Whats I's done taday,
I's saddles up ma ol' roan
Un we's set off'n the trail
Whar tha doggies likes ta play.
Thay war tha fattest critters
Tha grass ut war belly high
Thay's maws war so full
Thay jist chews thays cud a while.
We's jist went un thru um
Un thay's didn't even sees
Tha calves a runnin' un buckin
Knowin what ut war ta be's free.
Than we's jist sits on a hill
Un watched tha win' blow
Tha grasses dancin long
Ta Tha Masters fiddle song.
Tha clouds war white un fluffy
Of no storm thay done feared
Tha perty little flowers
War dressed un full gear.
We's jist wandered un
Un by a spring we's stopped
Ol' Roan war perty thirsty
Un I's done needs a smoke
Thar warn't no brandin'
Er calfin taday;
We's jist war checkin'
Un lookin fer futur hay.
Tha buzzards done feasted
Tha eagles sailed un soared
Tha little prairie dogs
Headed fer thay's holes.
God done a gud job
Fur es I's cud sees
I's bowed ma head
Un tole Him I's pleased.
Time cumed ta goes back
'Er time ut war thru
Travlin ovar tha rocks
Hopes Roan don't throws a shoe.
Everthin war gud
Everthin went jist fine
We's makes er back home
Bafor supper time.
Than ma son done spoiled ut all
He waked me up
Un than all I's cud hears
War tha danged ol' oil wells strippin thays gears.
