The Lesson My granddad was a rancher Out Wyoming way

Although it was hard work He had some fun they say

Like the time the Warden done showed up Without havin any good reason

I would have liked to seen his face

When he served sage hen out of season

Or the time that grandpa’s head got knocked Now here’s the story on that

Although it seems real fun now

He done ruined a mighty good hat.

It was time to check the cattle

But his horse he could not get

He chased and chased but to no avail Cussin “Damn you horse I’ll get you yet.”

They both got tired and slowed right down Grandpa mounted that dang horse

And ol’ Buck reared up mighty fast Throwin grandpa off of course

Well that’s when everything turned real dark He don’t know what happened next

I guess he roamed for five or six hours

That horse was truly vexed.

When grandpa finally came around And knowed he had a good fall

He rent right up to that darned horse Realizin that wasn’t ol’ Buck at all.

Well I bet gramps felt real foolish When he found Buck where he left him Yep, that horse was still in the corral And he was wearing a great big grin.

Now let this be a good learnin To every buckaroo

Never take a little snort

Til all your chores are through.
