Great Grandpa Joe

In the time of cowboys, way back when

Times were rough, everythin' had been

Cowboys wandered the lands on horse

And blizzards blew cross the land with great force

Cattle nibbled on short grass that grew

This was how it was back then, all of it's true

 

My great grandpa Joe was a cowboy himself

Had a hard time with grandma always climbin' the shelves

His faithful ol' cowdog named Walter the Third

Had a might fuss with worms, you could always be sure

Great grandpa's cattle seemed to always have itches

And his trusty ol' ranch horse had a great fear of witches

 

Cowboys and cowgirls gathered from all sorts of towns

To come have some viddles at grandpa joe's house

They butchered the fat calf from over there yonder

The main dish was beef and was not to be squandered

 

The folks were might happy with grandpa joe's grub

So they threw a ho-down for grandpa's kin Snub

Now Snub was a crazy man, never had kids

So he dressed up Joe's pigs in baby-blue bibs

 

The pigs didn't mind so much as Joe did

So joe made snub an awefully bad bid

He said "Snub you crazy old man you dirty old goat

Go back where you came from, go back to your boat"

 

Snub left in anger and burned down the town

And this is why you never let your kin down
