<p>The cow-bosses are good-hearted chunks,<br/>
Some short, some heavy, more long;<br/>
But don't matter what he looks like,<br/>
They all sing the same old song.<br/>
On the plains, in the mountains, in the valleys,<br/>
In the south where the days are long,<br/>
The bosses are different fellows;<br/>
Still they sing the same old song.</p>
<p class="add1em">"Sift along, boys, don't ride so slow;<br/>
Haven't got much time but a long round to go.<br/>
Quirt him in the shoulders and rake him down the hip;<br/>
I've cut you toppy mounts, boys, now pair off and rip.<br/>
Bunch the herd at the old meet,<br/>
Then beat 'em on the tail;<br/>
Whip 'em up and down the sides<br/>
And hit the shortest trail."</p>
