I was moping around the outer corrals of a friend of mine's ranch one day. When I seen this old gray haired cowboy, kneel down to the ground to pray. He said, "Good morning Sir, it's just me
again, But, I thought I'd stop and kinda talk
awhile Now you know how it is in the cow game Lord,
Ya see, the water holes are nearly dried up
Lord Now I ain't got no favors to ask for myself,
So excuse me Sir for taking up your time
Well I slowly turned and I walked away
Just to think this old man, just a common
hard hand, Well, we missed that old man at breakfast
next morn And if you should wonder if this story is
