Subject: RE: Lyrics- Cowboy Song?
Hey, thanks, Les. This is so weird to be reading the verses that I haven't heard since I was about 4 or 5 years old. It is strange how images are formed in a child's mind. Being pig-headed was always a saying that I knew, but to connect it to this song rings the bell that it was probably the first place that expression formed an image in my mind. I am seeing a rug-rat imagining a steer running around with a pig head. My main memory of this song is the word 'pony'. Of COURSE every child would fix on that. I envied the neighbor boy who had a big white horse named Dixie, which he boarded in our pasture along the Missouri River.
