THE BUCKAROO By Richard Carter Warinner Tighten the cinch and take off the blind 1-et 'or buck In front, let 'er buck behind. We'll both go up and come down together, Rut I hope to die If I'll "pull leather." Oh, I live the life of a buckaroo. And I love the scream of the wild curlew. And the coyote's howl Is music to me. As I gaze on the stars In the milky way. I never expect such great renown. But I may be marshal of some cow tonn. Or sheriff, or Judge, or something like that, And ehoko some guy with my lariat. My chaps are worn, and my hair is long, And I'm humming all day some dear old sog, Rome dear old song which my mother sang, Before I learned all this cow-hoy slang. Before I knew of the wild, wild west. And I'm thinking of her whom I loved best ; And I'm wondering should I go home again If she'd welcome a cow-boy of the plain? But I must tighten my latlgo For I'm off with the morning's first faint glow, Ovr the sage-brush plains I ride, Uke a buccaneer on a rising tide. With new sombrero and silver spuri I'll search the heard for stray "slick-ears." For I'm off to the Round-Up, sure, this Fall My broncho and I. Hay, I've got the gall. To ride with any old buckaroo, And to s,how 'em a trick with a lasso, too, I'm not much good at that "bulldog's" stunt, But I'll show 'em a pace at a maverick hunt 'Mongst them beautiful Eastern Oregon girls; I'll show 'em a trick! how my lasso twirls Straight out from the heart of a cow-boy true, They'll go some. If the beat this buckaroo. Then tighten the cinch, take off the blind, Let 'er buck In front, let 'er buck behind. For neither of us '11 show the "white feather,' But I hope to die If I pull leather.
