Cowboy Carousel 3

The preacher man began to pray The Lord his lamb to keep For many souls who drift away Have fallen in the deep Beside a welcome bed of hay The lamb came home to sleep For all the ones who go astray Are still the shepherd's sheep The morning sun came calling soon And Billy called ahead The minister said come at noon When we are out of bed The ceremony was delayed Until the cows were fed The minister was duly paid And this is what he said The jealousy which festers more Is something bad for certain And trust requires an open door And not an iron curtain Your flowers will not ease the pain Of one whose heart is hurtin' So please don't drive your spouse insane Because you won't stop flirtin' . . . . continued in part 4
