Ole Buddies
A hat and boots and a wallet too
Become old buddies tried and true.
A rid'n on yer feet, yer head n hip
'round here at home or on a long trip.
I read a poem by a man named Blisard
He talked "bout his hat in a lovin way.
I shore don't want to get his gizzard
But it reminded me of mine I have to this day.
My old hat was sloppy, dirty and brown,
My boots was too you see.
They warn't nuthin I'd wear to town.
I wore em herdin thirty black cattle in Tennessee
I had an old western mare
And a colt '41.
I rode that horse every where
But I never could shoot that gun.
I'm a Florida Cracker now
But tha crackins through.
Somewhere in this old house
is my hat and my boots.

You reminded me how important comments can be, thanks. When I was learning to oil paint the instructor brought out an old hat and a pair of boots, I painted a folded denim jacket alongside all on a table. It was a neat thing to paint, showed the character of the boots and hat....
