Tony Mangan and Bella
I bought me a saddle on which to skedaddle,
But I hadn’t a horse to put under.
I could hear the herd comin’ and see the herd goin’
And their hooves were a beatin’ like thunder.
And, that sound seemed to say “Cowboy, step away,
‘Cause if you stand in this road, you’ll go under.”
So, with nowhere to go and an oncomin’ snow,
I holed up with my dreams and my saddle.
You know, the one that I bought while having the thought
‘Bout gettin’ on up an skedaddle.
Well, spring finally came and we suffered some rain
And everything greened up real fine.
