The Man From MOulton.
GIVE HIM A CALL AT

1t was in the year of '96
A man from Moulton came,
TO go into the COW business,
For profit and for gain.
The riding of old Grandpa,
The holding of the herd,
Was the first introduction
To the Moulton town bird.
He rides into Uvalde
To get his daily mail;
He often gets letter,
But tho money always fails.
He comes back to the ranch
And passes it as Joke,
But we've tumbled to the racket
The Moulton dude is broke.
He rides up to Jimmie D.
A-hunting something soft,
and had the cheek to ask him
TO saddle up his horse,
Jimmie said he would,
But he guessed he'd better not
So showed him the public road
And told him he'd better trot.
