RICHES TO RAGS -Author Unknown
 
 
 I WORKED AND SLAVED FOR MANY YEARS UNTIL EVERYTHING WAS SUNNY. 

 ONE DAY I CHOSE TO HAVE SOME FUN WITH ALL MY HARD EARNED MONEY. 

 I BOUGHT A BIG TWO ACRE RANCH OUT ON THE EDGE OF TOWN. 

 I BOUGHT A PALOMINA HORSE THAT I COULD RIDE AROUND. 

AND THEN I BOUGHT A SADDLE WITH FANCY PADDED SEAT, 

 AND A SILVER CONCHOED BRIDLE AND SOME JUSTIN BOOTS FOR MY FEET. 

 I BOUGHT A JINGLE'N PAIR OF SPURS AND A BIG OLD STETSEN HAT. 

 I BOUGHT SOME COPENHAGEN FOR THE POCKET WHERE I SAT. 

 I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW TRAILER AND I SPENT A PERTTY BUCK 

 ON A GREAT BIG SHINEY FIVE SPEED TANDEM DUELLY PICKUP TRUCK. 

 I HAD ALL MY EQUIPMENT, I WAS FEELING PROUD AND PERT, 

 TIL THAT LOWDOWN, ONREY CRITTER DUMPED MY NOSE RIGHT IN THE DIRT. 

 I HAD TO PAY A HORSE TRAINER TO BREAK THAT YELLAR HIDE, 

 THEN I PAID A LITTLE EXTRA AND HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO RIDE. 

 THOUGH EVERYTHING WAS FINE NOW, I STARTED FEELING PENSIVE. 

 THIS HAPPY FUN FILLED HORSEY LIFE WAS GETTING RIGHT EXPENSIVE. 

 NO PROBLEM, THOUGH, I NOW WAS FREE TO RIDE. 

 AND THUS ENJOY ME WELL BROKE, WELL TRAINED TOY WITH THE PALOMINO HIDE. 
 
 AND THEN FOR A WEEK THAT'S WHAT I DID ON MY HIGH DOLLAR PET. 

 BUT THEN HE GOT COLIC AND I HAD TO CALL THE VET. 

 NOW IF YOU'RE THINKEN THAT DOCTORS HAVE A CAREER THAT MAKES THEM 
 WEALTHY, 

 JUST WAIT TILL YOU PAY A VETS BILL TO KEEP YOUR HORSE HEALTHY! 

 THEN OL YELLAR STARTED LIMPING WHEN HE STEPPED DOWN ON A CLOD, 

 SO I PAID ANOTHER WAD OF BILLS AND GOT THAT CAYUSE SHOD. 

 AND IF THAT WASN'T QUITE ENOUGH, THEN WINTER CAME MY WAY, 

 SO I HAD TO BUILD A BARN AND BUY A LOAD OF HAY. 

 THEN I BOUGHT A QUILTED BLANKET AND A MATCHING HOOD 

 TO KEEP OL YELLAR WARM AND KEEP HIM LOOKING GOOD. 

 SIGH! AND THEN I TOOK A WIFE AND SHE HAD A BOY AND GIRL. 

 THEY LIKED TO RIDE MY HORSE SO MUCH, I BOUGHT ONE EACH FOR THEM. 

 I TOSSED MORE DOLLARS AT THE VET, AND AT THE TRAINER TOO. 

 AND DON'T FORGET THE FARRIER WITH HIS ANVIL AND HIS SHOE.
