Cowboy Poetry and Western Verse
What Cowboy's Do
Larry Bradfield
He turned his sheepskin collar up
His back was to the wind
He'd seen this kind of storm before
But he had fence to mend
The new wire laid out on the ground
They'd brought it from the store
He'd have to work through sleet and snow
That's what they paid him for
He knew just why he couldn't leave
And go back to the fire
This wind would drive the whole dang herd
Right through the busted wire
And so he set about that chore
He ain't like me and you
He'll dern near work himself to death
'Cause that's what cowboys do
He built the fence then drank a cup
Them cows behind the wire
He turned his sheepskin collar up
And headed for the fire
