| I see the lines of sorrow had plowed on dat old face and I 'membered he'd been a captain on hoss back in dat war. |
| It MOUT be a hoss, or it MOUT be an Opelousa ox, but I thort it wur a hoss. |
| And when caught, the hoss thief had a date with a Colt.45 or an invite to a necktie party. |
| An' come right from yo' daughter's weddin' an' swopped hosses with a preacher. |
| And they're all tryin' to borry money off'm me and sell me spavined hosses. |
| Fust theah hosses got into a loco patch, an' one dawk night walked oveh a clift thinkin' it were thu aidge o' a sun crack. |
