A Cowboy's Prayer

Oh Lord, I reckon I'm not much just by myself; I
fail to do a lot of things I ought to do,
but Lord when trails are steep and the pass is
high,
help me ride it straight the whole way through,
and in the falling dusk I get the final call-
I do not care how many flowers they send-
above all else the happiest trail will be for you
to say to me,
"Let's Ride My Friend"

-Roy Rogers
November 5, 1911 - July 6, 1998

"The Texans are perhaps the best at actual cowboy work.
They are absolutely fearless riders and understand well
the habits of the half-wild cattle, being unequaled in
the most trying times when for instance the cattle are
stampeded by a thunderstorm at night, while in the
use of the rope and horse, they are only excelled by
the Mexicans."

-Theodore Roosevelt
1885
