Cowboy Kindness
Cowboy Kindness
Cowboys are known 'bout their kindness to strangers,
even against outlaws and rustlers.
To a cowboy it matters not the dangers,
and on this night,
it was none the differ.
I was ridin' grave yard,
one night long ago.
A winter storm was blowin'
snow fallin' and the wind cold.
When I came apon a feller stuck in the snow,
his team tangled and all astray.
So I pulled up to help, wouldn't ya know,
So this man could be on his way.
He was tall and broad with eyes,
that looked so kind.
even though there was much work for me,
I didn't mind.
So we got his rig fixed and team hitched,
he gave me a small gift,
wrapped in paper of gold.
I handed it back to him,
sayin' "There's no cause,
it belongs to some boy or girl,
so be on yer way Mr Clause."
"For the sun will soon be up,
and you have to leave bacause,
there is bound to be milk and cookies,
so go for there is only time for a short pause."
When my shift was done,
I went to get some some chuck.
A simple Christmass breakfast,
wouldn't ya know the luck.
Ol' cook with his laddle pointed,
to the corner with the tree.
Under it was a brand new saddle..
From Santa, To. Me
