Ten Thousand Cattle
Ten thousand cattle, gone astray;
Left my range and trav-elled away.
Sons of bitches, I'm here to say,
Have left me dead broke, dead broke today,
cho: In gambling hells delaying;
Ten thousand cattle straying, straying.
And now my gal has gone astray;
Left my shack and travelled away.
With a son of a bitch from I-o-way
And left me a lone man, lone man today.
from The Cowboy Sings, Kenneth Clark
