Subject: Cowboy Ways

The old ways are dying, or that's what they say-
And nobody cares for the Cowboy way.
But I don't believe it! Not for a minute-
For there's too many cowboys, who are still living in it.

Men, and some women, who still believe in work,
And do more than their share, and their chores never shirk.
They don't want a handout, just work they can do...
If they can do it a horseback, that's best, it is true.

Government subsidies, make them want to spit-
They've bought off our pride, made our folks want to quit-
When you're paid to do nothin', that's just what you do_
When the people get lazy, a country is through.

Now I'm crowding sixty, but friend I'm no bum...
I scoff at your handouts, not grovel, like some.
I'd go back to work at the drop of a hat...
I'd prob'ly sleep better, lose some of this fat:

There are some of us left, in these liberal days-
Who long for the past and those Cowboy Ways.
