I hear a sound and look up to the rise,
There I see a black horse with blue eyes.
The horse came a'runnin, trying to flee,
But I was the quicker one you see.
When I stopped that horse it came down with a 'thump'!
And there on the ground lay an odd looking lump.
The lump wriggled a bit; I jumped back in alarm,
And from under the lump came a blood-streaked arm.
"Come 'ere," said an old, rasping voice,
"I'll tell you a story, me last words of a sort."
I edged closer to him still wary and worried,
And then he began his sad, sad story.
"Me horse Cassie and I were a roundin' up cattle,
When up on the hill came a cry fer a battle!
Cassie reared up an' started fer town,
And just then some damn arrows shot 'er down.
"I was on the ground when they came a closer,
With arrows an' spears, all of em hunters.
Up on their horses with large feather plumes,
Them In'juns came down and I met me doom.
"Pain seared through me body as them arrows flew,
Into me body, o the pain it did brew.
Then a large black shape just then appeared,
With two icy eyes, a demon I feared!
"It a lifted me up and flew like a bird,
Then I was to run into you, it assured.
That is me story, me last words of a sort,
So be not a cowboy, but live in the court."
At that he went limp with not a shudder nor sigh,
By the time the moon was well in the sky.
I looked for the horse with the icy blue eyes,
But no hoof prints led to or away from the rise.
I learned somethin' thaat very day,
My career is set and not led astray,
I want to live life like it a'int no toy,
So one day I'll be a might fine cowboy.
