Happy Birthday!
The rodeo cowboy who introduced bulldogging,
Bill Pickett
was born 12/5/1870
(d.4/21/1932)
Old Bill Pickett was a mighty black man
And he rode for the One-O-One
Way down yonder in the Cherokee Land
Around when the West was won
He'd jump a steer from a runnin' hoss
And throw him down with a mighty toss
He worked for many, but he had no boss
He's the last of the great cowhands
