    Windy Bill

    By anonymous | Cowboy Poetry | 0 comment | 21 February, 2017 | 0

    Windy Bill was a Texas man,
    Well, he could rope, you bet;
    Talk of the steer he could n’t tie down
    Had n’t sorter been born yet;
    The boys they knew of an old black steer,
    A sort of an old outlaw,
    Who ran down in the bottom
    Just at the foot of a rocky draw.

    This slim black steer had stood his ground
    With punchers from everywhere;
    The boys they Bill two to one
    He couldn’t quite get there.
    So Bill brought up his old cow-horse—
    His wethers and back were sore—
    Prepared to tackle this old black steer
    Who ran down in the draw.

    With his grazin’ bits and sand-stacked tree,
    His chaps and taps to boot,
    His old maguey tied hard and fast,
    Went out to tackle the brute.
    Bill sorter sauntered around him first;
    The steer began to paw,
    Poled up his tail high in the air
    And lit down in the draw.

    The old cow-horse flew at him
    Like he’d been eatin’ corn,
    And Bill he landed his old maguey
    Around old blackie’s horns.
    The old-time horse he stopped dead-still;
    The cinches broke like straw;
    Both the sand-stacked tree and the old maguey,
    Went driftin’ down the draw.

    Bill landed in a big rock-pile;
    His hands and face were scratched;
    He ‘lowed he always could tie a steer
    But guessed he’d found his match.
    Paid up his bet like a little man,
    Without a bit of jaw,
    And said old blackie was the boss
    Of all down in the draw.

    There’s a moral to my song, boys,
    Which I hope you can see;
    Whenever you start to tackle a steer
    Never tie hard your maguey.
    Put on your dalebueltas,
    ‘Cordin’ to California law,
    And you will never see your old rim-fires
    Driftin’ down the draw.

    Brave, bronc, funny, horse
