A Fair Cowpoke

Lord have mercy on such as me I am a man of simple means Came to Texas in sixty three Wasn't ready for gals in jeans Came on the train in suit and tie Directly from the frozen North Now I'd seen girls to make you sigh But nothing compared to Ft Worth There were girls in tight fittin' pants That made me want to shop for boots I'd never heard of a square dance But here I swore to plant my roots It took years of fibs and lyin' A fair cowpoke I came to be He saw how hard I was tryin' - Lord had mercy on such as me 9/27/2017
