The Texas CowboyAnonymous- 1908Come all you Texas cow-boys And warning take of meDon't go out in Montana For wealth or libertyBut stay home here in Texas Where they work the year aroundAnd where you'll not get consumption From sleeping on the ground.Montana is too cold for me, And the winters are too longBefore the round-ups have begun, Your money is all gone.For in Montana the boys get work But six months in a yearAnd they charge for things three prices In that land so bleak and drear.
This this old hen-skin bedding, 'Twas nor enough to shield my formFor I almost freeze to death, Whene'er there comes a storm.I've an outfit on the Musselshell, Which I expect I'll never see,Unless by chance I'm sent To represent this A R and P T.
All along these bad lands, And down upon the dryWhere the canons have no bottoms And the mountains reach the sky.Your chuck is bread and bacon And coffee black as inkAnd hard old alkali water That's scarcely fit to drink.They'll wake you in the morning Before the break of dayAnd send you out on circle, Full twenty miles away.With a "Tenderfoot" to lead you Who never knows the wayYou're pegging in the best of luck If you get two meals a day.I've been over in Colorado
And down upon the PlatteWhere the cow-boys work in pastures And the cattle are all fat.Where they ride silver mounted saddles And spurs and leggin's tooAnd their horses are all Normans And only fit to plow.Yes, I've traveled lots of country, Arizona's hills of sandDown through the Indian Nation Plum to the Rio Grande.Montana is the bad-land The worst I've ever seenWhere the cow-boys are all tenderfeet And the dogies are all lean.
