The Old Chisholm Trail
Well come along boys and listen to my tale,
I'll tell you my troubles on the old Chisholm Trail.
On a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle,
I started out to punchin' then longhorn cattle.
I started up the trail October twenty-third,
I started up the trail with the 2U herd.
I'm up in the morning before daylight,
And before I sleep the moon shines bright.
It's bacon and beans most every day,
We'll soon be a-eatin' prairie hay.
With my seat in the saddle and my hand on the horn,
I'm the best damned cowboy that ever was born.
It's cloudy in the west and a-lookin' like rain,
And my damned old slicker's in the wagon again.
- A favorite song of the old time cowboys.
