Greenhorn

Felt a free meal challenge up his alley.
Known as seventy-two-ounce steaks abode

Initiating him into traditional beer
In a nearby shanty compound
Where I got his head into God’s fear
Whereby upon returning the greenhorn couldn’t push anyone around

Greenhorn

In his cowboy outfit, young Danny was eloquently clad.
He'd never been throwed from his rockin' horse as a tad!

The first thing he had to do was learn to ride a horse,
