- 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
