FALL GATHERING

by Jock Jacober

Pushin steers and heifers, chokin on the dust.

Pushin wily steers and heifers, chokin on the dust.

Gotta move them yearlings in spite of all the fuss.

Layin outta a loop and lookin down a back.

Layin outta a loop, quick, look down a back.

Missed the dally, dammit! plumb laid me flat.

Pour-on for them cooties, the kind that suck the blood.

Pour-on kills them cooties, the kind that suck the blood.

Can't make no weight even feedin twice the grub.

Headin into Dunton, then down grand boulevard.

Stompin into Dunton, then down grand boulevard.

Mashin all the flowers in every neighbor's yard.
