Red Steagall - Forty And Found Lyrics
I topped the ridge this morning looked across the great expanse
I had to stop and thank the Lord for givin' me the chance
To make my way a' horseback in a country most ain't seen
We're the Pullman county cowboys on our way to Abilene
Oh the coosie ain't too grumpy and the cattle ain't too wild
And the stories round the waggon even make the trail boss smile
Now I wouldn't trade my hotroll for a feather bed in town
And on top of all of this I'm gettin' forty and found
I tell you boys I'm lucky because punchin' is my trade
In my corral are memories of all the friends I've made
Like my buddy Curly Jackson and my pal Dakota Slim
If the boss don't wanna pay me shoot I reckon I'd pay him
Cause the coosie ain't too grumpy and the cattle ain't too wild
And the stories round the waggon even make the trail boss smile
Now I wouldn't trade my hotroll for a feather bed in town
And on top of all of this I'm gettin' forty and found
We crossed the South Canadian, we're nearly half way there
Soon we'll get to change our cloths and shave and cut our hair
We'll probably whoop it up a bit and raise a little cane
Then take our beds and saddles back to Texas on the train
Oh the coosie ain't too grumpy and the cattle ain't too wild
And the stories round the waggon even make the trail boss smile
Now I wouldn't trade my hotroll for a feather bed in town
And on top of all this I'm gettin' forty and found
Now I wouldn't trade my hotroll for a feather bed in town
And on top of all of this I'm gettin' forty and found
[Thanks to truly for lyrics]
