Cowboy Poetry and Western Verse
Tall Tales
Joel Bailey
In days of old
When nights were cold
We'd sit around the fire
And tell tall tales
As the night wind wails
To see who was the biggest liar
I thought I was the best
But so did the rest
Till the night a stranger came by
His face was all red
He looked half dead
And just about ready to die
Now I still recall
How he topped us all
With the tale he told that night
He said I came up rough
And thought I was tough
But tonight I had a heck of a fight
He said I met a bear on the trail
With a thorn in his tail
And needed some help no doubt
So quick as a whiz
I ropped that griz
And pulled that sucker out
But the bear got mad
Instead of being glad
Like I thought he should have been
So I said alright
Lets have a fight
And I shoved that thorn back in
