Come All Kind Friends
Come all kind friends and learn on me
A sad and mournful history
It was caused by friends and I love them well
That caused me to roam through the wild foothills
I knew a girl and I loved her well
I loved more than tongues could tell
For a lady’s love she had promised me
If I were a gallant cowboy be
When I returned to bring her joy
To make her the wife of a brave cowboy
Her parents give me good advice
To stay at home and live a quiet life
It was for their words I did not here
And for their advice I did not care
For I had a home and I loved it well
All in those mountains for to dwell
We rode along for nine long hours
Before we’d reached - - -
I’ll tell to you an awful tale
We met some Indians on our trail
Well the wolves they howled and - - -
And a bear climbs up those mountains tall
Last night our bed was snow and sleet
And not one moment could we sleep
If I had wings like a dove I’d fly
Away out West where the cowboys lie
With a - - - we have gained our name
Of a great cowboy away on the plain
Alan Rennick: That is good. I suppose, did you learn that from your mother also?Holly Hodges: Yeah. I try
Julius Cato: Old-timer. That’s an old-timer.
