Poem Title:
Poem
I've got me a woman, a sweet lovin' woman So, "Why", do you ask, "am I sayin' goodbye?" A cowboy like me, has a hankerin' to be free.. Free to be roamin' under sweet prairie skies every once in awhile, Even tho' I'll be missin' her lovin' and kissin' and the sight of her smile. I saddled my horse, knowing of course That she wants me to stay.... But I kissed her goodbye, saw the tears in her eyes as I mounted my pony and trotted away I knew she'd be grievin', because of my leavin' But I gotta have space with walls closin' around me I gotta get riding, where fences ain't binding. As I ride dusty trails, I'll be hummin' a song "The Red River Valley", or some others I've known I'll play my guitar, harmonizing with birds While the crickets at sundown, know all the words Then night after night as I lay by my fire After cooking up bacon, and some biscuits and beans I'll think of my life, and my home and my woman About my 'lil' darlin', and 'bout what love really means I'll remember the good times, forgetting the bad times I won't sleep 'cause the moonlight shines in my face With coyotes a howlin', and the rocks in my bed roll I'm tossin' and turnin', and for my woman I'm yearnin' When I'm done with my roamin', ...well, then I'll be home bound Back to my sweetheart, where you know I should be I'll saddle my horse....knowing of course.... That I'll tell my sweet woman, I'll hang around this time.... Until that old fever gets me, and I'm scratchin' and itchin' Then I'll catch up my pony, throw on my old bed roll I'll head for the mountains, smell sage on the prairie And I'll gallop through the valley of the thick chaparral _________________________________________
