- A Good Hand
-
- He's working in the kitchen of a
little cafe
- this guy I know
- who was a good hand in his
day.
-
- Back in younger years we'd worked
the O bar K
- and another spread
- off to the east called the circle
J.
-
- But after being stove up by a rank
bull in his way
- he hired on to cook
- instead of cuttin' cows for
pay.
-
- It's been near thirty years since
he used to say.
- "Gather round the coffee
boys
- drink an' eat an' pray."
-
- He's over there, I see him smiling
in a friendly way
- serving eggs and hash
- to folks who never may
-
- know this guy's a cowboy
- right here in this cafe.
