A Cowboy and His Jeans

Not all them ol’ time cowpokes Wore them tight blue jeans, of course— Most wore hot ol’ striped dress pants Of thick cotton that was coarse. It was Levi that came ‘round To cover up our backside— So we didn’t bust britches When we went to take a ride. Now they still got stove pipe legs And jeans that is loose fittin’— Even them short baggy drawers That brings a poke to spittin’! And we got them in colors— Some that is downright dern crass— But they all done do their job, Hidin’ rears of lad and lass. And though it seems that cowboys Are now seldom in the norm— You can bet your jean bottom They wear that cowboy uniform! And if I do go senile And I’m clearly in decline— Don’t bury me in dress pants— I want jeans on my ol’ behind!
