JUST AN OLD LINE SHACK

 

JUST A LINE SHACK

 

Git go`n Lindy !

Reins slap Lindy on the flank.

It`s been a long time Ole Buddy, we

gotta git home.

 

This ole man has been gone about

70 years and he`s go`n home.

Where`s home ?  It`s just a line shack

about ten mile from Thunder Butte

down on Thunder Butte Creek.

 

What`s a line shack, Dad ?

Oh,  it`s just a little frame house down

on the creek.   I grew up there, then

when I went away to high school, the

ranchers in the area just moved in and

took it over for the cowboys to bunk in

when doing roundup and scout`n strays.

 

What`s so important about it now ?  Why '

go back to an old line shack ?

Git up, Lindy.   Well, son, you know how

important were some of those great days

in your life, the day you graduated from

college, that day you got your MA down

in Texas ?   Well, when Tony Roach and I

found that pool full of wild fish, that was

the same kind of day for me.   Tony told me

they were wild fish and I filled my pockets

full of them and took them home and my

Mother found me emptying all those pollywogs

out on the floor.   That was graduation day

for me.   Boy did I get a whupp`n.  yup, that

was the day I became a man.

 

What else do you remember about that old

shack, Dad ?

Whoa .  That`s a long story son.  Got a few

days to listen ?
