BOX 936———JUN L SONGS | McMURCHIE J, ALASKA (COPYRIGHT 1938) “THE BIG TRON-GRAY” I once was a rider Quite headed for fame Knew many bad horses Knew them by name Give “Old Steamboat” his clory Oid “Rocket” his fame There now lives a pony That has never been named When riding for horses In Nevada one day [ run in a herd-lead By a big iron-gray. Sound as a dollar Straight legged and tall His eyes showed much white His ears pointed and small. ilis hoofs were like ivory And harder than rock You could tell by his build He came from good stock. Plenty of action As he ran through the sand A killer of horses And a hater of man. He fought like a demon He struck at the rope He'd kick at his shadow I was afraid he would choke. My saddle in place Cinched there to stay I was ready to mount That big-iron-gray. I got set in the saddle Pulled off the blind We left Mother Earth A new planet to find. A horse to jump higher Will never be found He swapped ends in mid-air Before he came down. He sun-fished and twisted Came down on his feet The peaks of the mountains Shone under my seat. I raked him with spurs From shoulder to flank Like touching a match To a gasoline tank. For beneath me He seemed to explode Here was a horse Who was going to unload I bit my own tongue And T bled at the nose My body felt numb As if it were froze. 1 made a grab for leather Got a hand-ful of mane He had turned on nothing And left me some change. He stood on his head Ahd rolled like a wheel He was too busy bucking To take time to squeal. The alkali dust 1t flew in my face He tore up the sage And went over the gate. The forty-fourth jump He ended my ride To stay on his deck I had everything tried. Talk of good riders And say what you may The devil can't ride That big iron-gray. I have all that’s needed To write a poem, This horse can buck harder Than the strawberry roan. Copyright 1938—Allen A. McMurchie “MY OLD DOG AND ME” Just as old Cowboy Riding the range Beans and salt-pork Food is always the same. Five thousand cows And never no milk Black coffee and biscuits Take hours to soak. No cream for my coffee And I never drink tea Old cow have pity On my old dog and me. I run in a eritter And tied her up tight Got my tin-can, boys, How she did fight. I got some real milk, boys, | Before she got free Soaked up four biscuits For my old dog and me. That old cow looks ugly She has reasons to be I guess she’s thinking Of my old dog and me. “MY HORSE AND 1" i [ My horse has never failed me i YUH MEANS YER ACTUALLY GONNA GIVE UP YER GOLF T'BECOME A MOVIE FAN?2 ming THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY JU L0S ANGELES CLIMBING UP COAST LEAGUE San Diego Goes Into Third Place—Seattle Loses by Home Run (By Assocziated Press) Los Angeles moved within on game of the Sacramento Senato by trimming them last night through the pitching of an Ar nold Statz, £a Diego grabbed ispute pessession of third position by m: it two in a row over San Fre co.
