Egerton.
Out on the plains, my boy,
Tending your cattle, did you speak with them
And reason with them?
Harvey Anderson.
With the cattle?
Egerton.
Yes.
Harvey Anderson.
It all depends upon the mood they're in.
Sometimes a man can just sit on his horse,
If the feed's good; and sometimes in the night,
If a storm's brewing, then it's best to sing;
Go round them this way—
(Circles and sings one of the strange melodies of the cowboys)
for they're restless then.
