Cowboy Poetry and Western Verse
My Ranchboy
Luana Chamness
You was born a genuine ranchboy
It was just a way of life for you
You was dedicated to yur work
Enjoyin' most things you had to do.
Irrigatin' crops, puttin' up feed
Checkin' cattle all over the place
Tryin' to keep all them bulls fenced in
Didn't matter what you had to face.
Everything was right in our li'l world
Till yur boss came rappin' at my door
One look at him, I knew you was gone
I had never bin thru this before.
Reality was now kickin' in
How I wish this was one dreadful dream
Cuz it surely made no sense to me
This whole thing was just terribly extreme.
My heart went out to all our yung-uns
To you they didn't say a good-bye
Them sweet li'l souls was hurtin' real bad
Cuz their Daddy suddenly died.
Me, I cried thru written words in poems
Not a visible tear could I shed
Everything just went down on paper
And knowin' a long trail lay ahead.
My ranchboy was now gone forever
God needed him in Heaven I guess
I found strength I never knew I had
Somehow, I'd get thru this none-the-less.
