A Life on the Open Range-- FRANK MAYNARD--EDITED AND INTRODUCED BY JIM HOY--FOREWORD BY DAVID STANLEY--
THE DYING COWBOY.
Song AS I rode down by Tom Sherman's bar-room, Tom Sherman's bar-room so early one day, There I espied a handsome young ranger All wrap[p]ed in white linen, as cold as the clay.
"I see by your outfit that you're a ranger," The words that he said as I went riding by, "Come, sit down beside me, and here my, sad story, I'm shot through the breast and know I must die."
Chorus--- Copies received Nov. 20,1911 Then exc. ext. Date of publication, Nov 11
