Subject: Lyr Req: 'Slowly Does the Trick'
I'm looking for the rest of the words of a cowboy (or rodeo) song I once had. In about 1950, when I was getting interested in guitar and folksongs, my favorite aunt gave me an old songbook which had been published by or on behalf of a radio station in Montana, Wyoming, or one of the neighboring states, probably in the 30s.
The song had to do with what you need to do when bucked off your horse, and the part I remember is as follows:
"Come down easy, careful, never be too quick Your eye the distance gauges So you land by easy stages, Oh, it's slowly does the trick!"
