 Got his name from singing to the cows and sheep. Every night they say he sings the herd to sleep. In a bass so rich and deep, pruning soft and low. He always sings raggy music to the cattle as he swings. Back and forward in the saddle on a horse. That is syncopated, gated, and is such a funny meter. To the roar of his feet or how they run. When they hear the fellow's gun because the western folks all know.
