Red Steagall - Forty And Found lyrics

rate me

I topped the ridge this morning looked across the great expanse

I had to stop and thank the Lord for givin' me the chance

To make my way a' horseback in a country most ain't seen

We're the Pullman county cowboys on our way to Abilene

Oh the coosie ain't too grumpy and the cattle ain't too wild

And the stories round the waggon even make the trail boss smile

Now I wouldn't trade my hotroll for a feather bed in town

And on top of all of this I'm gettin' forty and found

I tell you boys I'm lucky because punchin' is my trade

In my corral are memories of all the friends I've made

Like my buddy Curly Jackson and my pal Dakota Slim

If the boss don't wanna pay me shoot I reckon I'd pay him

Cause the coosie ain't too grumpy and the cattle ain't too wild

And the stories round the waggon even make the trail boss smile

Now I wouldn't trade my hotroll for a feather bed in town

And on top of all of this I'm gettin' forty and found

We crossed the South Canadian, we're nearly half way there

Soon we'll get to change our cloths and shave and cut our hair

We'll probably whoop it up a bit and raise a little cane

Then take our beds and saddles back to Texas on the train

Oh the coosie ain't too grumpy and the cattle ain't too wild

And the stories round the waggon even make the trail boss smile

Now I wouldn't trade my hotroll for a feather bed in town

And on top of all this I'm gettin' forty and found

Now I wouldn't trade my hotroll for a feather bed in town

And on top of all of this I'm gettin' forty and found
