I'Ll Rest Here a Spell

While I was riding across the sagebrush I happened upon this soft running creek My face and neck were burning just a bit my stomach was getting a little weak Seemed like a decent place to rest a spell and from my mare I jumped down to the ground I pulled the saddle from Jilly Gal's back so she could take a drink and graze around I wet my bandanna in the water it was as cool as the mountains in snow So I shucked off my dusty cowboy boots and let that water run across my toes While sitting there I started a thinking when was the last time a bath I had seen So I stripped right on down to my long john's and I decided I would plunge right in Now my old bones are feeling much better as I spread across the grass in the sun If ever a time I've been happier I am not sure I can come up with one Do your dance across the rocks you ripples and gurgle for me a jolly old tune I'm pretty darn sure I won't be riding away from this spot anytime too soon
