Who Will Cry

Who will cry for the dead cowboys Buried along the trail Who will cry for the dead cowboys The ones who try and fail Some have died in brash adventure An' some in happenstance But die they did and dead they lie An' never had a chance Mark it down as young man's folly Or as romantic tales But a wooden cross on the Plains Must mark a man who fails But more than that, ah, yes much more It marks a man who tried And the wooden cross on his grave Records that one man cried Who will cry for the young cowboys Graves scattered to and fro Perhaps no one will cry at all They'd prob'ly have it so 11/12/2017
