Cowboys Wow
Late sixties cowboy films Bonanza, Rawhide
And Cheyenne – I loved these series.
Their theme songs come to mind ‘Wishing
‘My gal was by my side’( Rawhide,)
Waiting at the end of my ride
‘Keep movin,’ movin’, movin,
Just rope em, throw and brand em
Soon we’ll be living high and wide
Rawhide’.
And then there was Cheyenne ,
‘Cheyenne, Cheyenne, where will
You be campin’ tonight,
Lonely man, Cheyenne, will
Your heart stay free and light,
The wind that blows, that comes and goes,
Has been your only home,
But will the wind one day cease,
And you’ll no longer roam.’
And finally my absolute favorite
Bonanza (Little Joe) we were all in love
With him, it was all we discussed at
School break time the next day
If only it was on every night
What can I say,
The song was almost on
The hit parade.
In my mind, it will never fade!
Remember their home the Ponderosa
Ranch, ‘the stars at night
The morning light
Water in the branch,
We ride along,
Four men strong ‘
These three cowboy series bring back
Memories galore of my mid to late teenage
Years, happy moments, and sad seems
Like only a page
Ago.
I have just missed Line Gauthier’s contest,
But still posting this poem. Some words and lyrics
From all three series.
