The Pklure /Show, August 2iid, 1919. 21 0 0 0 0 The Songs of the Cowboys on the Western Ranges, Compiled by Tom Mix, the Fox Cowboy Hero. THE COWBOY. ALL day long on the prairies I ride. Not even a dog to trot by my side ; My fire I kindle with cliips gathered round, My coffee I boil without being ground. I wash in a pool, and I wipe on a sack ; I cany my wardrobe all on my back. For want o{ an oven I cook bread in a pot, And sleep on the ground for want of a cot. My ceiling is the sky, my floor is the grass, My music the lowing of herds as they pass ; My books are the brooks, my sermons the stones. My parson's a wolf on his pulpit of bones. Then between me and love lies a gulf very wide. Some lucky fellow may call her his bride ; My friends gently hint I am coming to grief. But men must make money and women have beef. It I iiad liair on my chin 1 might pass for the goat That bore all the sins in the ages remote ; But just why it is I can not understand, For each of the patriarchs owned a big bjand. Abraham emigrated in search of a range. And wlien water was scarce he wanted a cliange. Old Isaac owned cattle in charge of Esau, And Jacob punched cows for his father-in-law. He started in business way down at bed rock. And made quite a strak at the handling of stock. David weivt from night herding to using a sling, And, winning the battle, became a great king. Tlien tlie shepherds, while herding the slieep on a hill, Got a message from Heaven of peace and good will. A HOME ON THE RANGE. /~\H, give nie a home whor'^ ^ the buffaloes roam, Wliere the deer and tne antelope play ; Wlicre seldom is lieard a discoiuraging word, And the skies are not cloudy all day. Where the air is so pure, tne zephyrs so free. The breezes so balmy and . light, That I would not exchange my 9 home on the range / For all of the cities so bright J I /Tk. \ IT was with songs hke these that Tom Mix (whose pbotogiapb is here) lulled the cattle to sleep when keeping night watch, as a real cowboy, % on the ranges in the Far X West.
