    The Cowboy’s Life

    By anonymous | Cowboy Poetry | 0 comment | 22 February, 2017 | 0

    The bawl of a steer
    To a cowboy’s ear
    Is music of sweetest strain;
    And the yelping notes
    Of the gray coyotes
    To him are a glad refrain.

    And his jolly songs
    Speed him along
    As he thinks of the little gal
    With golden hair
    Who is waiting there
    At the bars of the home corral.

    For a kingly crown
    In the noisy town
    His saddle he would n’t change;
    No life so free
    As the life we see
    ‘Way out on the Yaso range.

    His eyes are bright
    And his heart as light
    As the smoke of his cigarette;
    There’s never a care
    For his soul to bear,
    No trouble to make him fret.

    The rapid beat
    Of his bronco’s feet
    On the sod as he speeds along,
    Keeps living time
    To the ringing rhyme
    Of his rollicking cowboy’s song.

    Hike it, cowboys,
    For the range away
    On the back of a bronc of steel,
    With a careless flirt
    Of the raw-hide quirt
    And the dig of a roweled heel.

    The winds may blow
    And the thunder growl
    Or the breeze may safely moan;
    A cowboy’s life
    Is a royal life,
    His saddle his kingly throne.

    Saddle up, boys,
    For the work is play
    When love’s in the cowboy’s eyes,
    When his heart is light
    As the clouds of white
    That swim in the summer skies.

    traditional, from Songs of the Cowboys, 1921
