Cowpoke Meyers

There was once an old cowpoke named Meyers

   For decades he'd rode an old hoss named Squires

      He'd roped steers and fixed fences

         Enjoyed beer and square dances

           And was bowlegged as a pair of pliers

ah the rockin rolling seat , dem bowlaigs sure hard to beat, when ya poking them ol dogies , heading home and life is sweet, when the cattle are a grazing , and the sun is setting low, an the night watch is stargazing, a sweeter life i do know, back when life was walking slow, but then complete... thank you "Cowpoke Meyers" an wrangler Bob Hinshaw...
