Straight and True
 
The ground was flat and went way out
'till stopping at the drop
 
that went straight down 100 feet
where Joe and horse did stop.
 
Next day old Joe was buried
by the XO ranch house crew
 
who said a kind word over him
and mentioned Dobbin too.
 
One guy said Joe liked to borrow things
and never had a care.
 
Another said that Joe was clean
and always combed his hair.
 
Two more boys spoke up for Joe
they remembered his concern
 
with how much sleep he could get
and how the sun could make him burn.
 
After that the group was silent
and Joe was laid to rest.
 
good can always be said
even if you weren't the best
