A Jealous Filly
A Jealous Filly
He walked up to the gate
Pa said you're kinda late
The last time I seen you you was ridin'
He said well I got throwed
I guess I shoulda knowed
That filly's got feelin's she's been hidin'
I rode down in the draw
To see a colt I saw
Last week when I was checkin' out the stock
She's a chestnut beauty
More than just a cutie
She's hangin' out beneath that painted rock
I looked into her eye
An' I said my oh my
That's when my filly balked an' came unstuck
First it was a snuffle
That became a shuffle
Then a roarin', snortin', genuine buck
I lasted about three
'Til she was shed of me
An' I was gettin' ready for a hike
Well let me tell you son -
You get girls more than one -
It's bound to end in somethin' you don't like
Pa began to chuckle
Jiggled his belt buckle
Said you have learned a lesson for your files.
I said I guess that's true
I hope to learn a few
That don't require a walk of sev'ral miles
