The Lazy E roundup wagon
Pulled in upon the Dry.
After their Spring work was done
In the first days Of July.
II was getting scarce Of money.
And the grub was running low,
So we thought we d sell q bunch.
And get little dough.
We pulled in on the Woody,
And began to cut them out,
Those long-eared mules and geldiugs.
That would do to ship absut.
Said Zip to Bill Curtis.
Whs held the gate 50 we'll,
when We cut them on the Woody.
Those E's were surely hell"
We just had worked herd.
When the cut. il rushed the gate,
And mix-uP Of fourteen geldinss.
That's what held us back 50 late.
Charley caught bald-faoed blue,
He said he'd ride HIM on the sand:
He was big and scary.
Open-buckle was his brand.
And the way he sun fshed,
Down acrsss the fat,
As Charley whipped and famed him.
With his old Stetson hat.
Tiny rode good cow-horse,
His name was little Bay;
He worked the herd on him,
Cut out mules and geldings every day.

That stood outside tbs gate,
To turn them from a pasture fence,
So they'd miss barbed-wire fate.
George Hunter held the day-herd,
Down along the way,
As he sang some good old songs.
To while away the day.
And as for Long and Hungry.
You could see him every place,
With big old two bit smile,
Stretched across his face.
Moon ace was not there.
] almost missed his name;
He was riding line.
On the watch Tor bigger game.
And after we had worked the Woody,
And Flat and Spring creeks right,
We pulled upon the Little Dry,
To gather up what was in sight.
And when we was on the Little Dry,
We camped right IN the sand:
Toe Curley split the gravy.
From out the frying pan.
And as he kept on cooking.
And watched the kittle bile.
He trod in sand and gravy,
And never cracked a smile.
At last he sand. I'm tell you fellows.
You'll have to eat those taters dry.
For the gravy's in the sand.
And smeared up to my thigh"
And from that time.

And now you'll always know him.
