You'Re the Mender of My Fences

~ You’re the Mender of My Fences… Time has a way of rusting out the wires or rotting the posts off below the ground and then the horses would go a strayin' any place that the fence had fallen down So you have to ride along the fences specially after a big winter storm Always being alert and diligent to make sure the herd will come to no harm Most times it might be just a little thing like splicing in a tiny bit of wire Other times it’s an entire section down that’s when things can become a bit more dire It seems you always know what tool to use to keep our fences standing tall and strong Just how to keep this wandering stallion from doing anything foolish or wrong You have a gentle way of fixing me whenever doubt starts to rust out my wire You are the mender of all my fences the keeper of my heart’s deepest desire
