Cowboys were primarily young men who needed some quick doe
Herding cattle caring for horses, and repairing fences as they go
A Cowpokes is always ready to work the cattle drive.
Helped establish frontier towns when they finally arrive
Their Iconic lifestyles always glorified in Books
Left out lonely, grueling work, or the life it took
Cowboy’s work was not for the faint of heart.
What they did with a horse and lasso was a work of art
Cowboys were as diverse as they could be
From Western fronts, Mexico, and places across the sea
The ever-shifting frontier from the Western expansion
Most ranchers’ wives would build a small ranch mansion.
Whether rounding up livestock or just Branding hides
Cowpunching is not the ordinary man’s job. They will confide.
Many Cowboy lifestyles by historians popularized.
We’re John Wayne, Gene Autry, and the lone ranger in disguise
Large hats, wide brims, boots, and chaps
to protect their legs from snakes, and many cacti needle plants
Fifteen hours a day, seven days a week
no time for a family to search out and seek
A paragraph in the history books for young eyes to read today
Could never fully hold the life of the Cowpoke, Buckaroo, or plain Cowboy way
