Branding time
Them dsmn cows woke me up awful early,
with their bawling and stamping about.
If the rest of the crew wasn't sleeping,
I'd give those old cows quite a shout.
I like to wake up kinda slowly,
a feeling and smelling the land.
If them cows wake me once again early,
I"ll shoot 4 or 5 where they stand!!!!!
It's a hardlife enough for a cowboy,
without getting cut out of your "Perks"
A kinda foreboding falls on you,
when your day kinda starts with a jerk.
You go ahead 'cause your up anyway,
a looking for saddle and tack.
Figure 3 or 4 days of this branding,
there's a chance that you'll be headed back.
To a bed that ain't full of sticks and rocks,
a cup of coffee not tasting of sand.,
will be wearing the Big Bosses brand.
But all of the found cows and their young'uns
