Dad's Ol Chaps

[Cogs]

I posted a thread in How do I do that, about "Restoring Dad's old chaps; blood beer and whiskey stained". Then I got an email from "rodeomic" saying; "there is a country song in the making!". Well, I couldn't help but think he's right. So, I came up with this... Hope you like it.

Dad’s Ol Chaps

There’s a story there

in them ol chaps,

hangin on the tack room wall.

They tell me of

my daddy’s love,

how he loved to live it all.

There’s blood and beer

and whiskey there,

a life full of history.

They’re Dad;s Ol Chaps,

as a matter of facts,

and they tell of his legacy.

That stain right there

was his first buck deer,

I think he was just thirteen.

And that big ol scar,

on his left hip thar,

was a horse that was pretty mean.

He roped a calf,

back in ’73,

left a big ol burn you see.

They’re Dad;s Ol Chaps,

as a matter of facts,

and they tell of his legacy.

Someday I may finish this... Till then, you can just Reminisce.

See ya'll,

Bill,

I wouldn't wait till someday. I's finish it and get it to someone in Nashville as fast as I could. It would not only be a hit, sung by the right storyteller/singer, but; also a fitting tribute to your dad. I'm sure he'd be up there smilin' down.

Finish it up. Dad would be proud.

Thanks for the encouragement. Oh, great... Now I'll have to think again!

You've done a good job, I hope to see it finished [and maybe recorded...?]!!
