July 5, 2023All Dressed Up
Things is pickin’ up as most folks knows,
So I sent to town fer to git new clo’es.
Some onderwear and a big hat box,
A couple of shirts and a passel of socks.
Some overalls and other truck,
Three red bandannys throwed in fer luck.
My boots aint new but they’ll do right well,
I reckon I’ll make them last a spell.
I’ll be the pride of the whole derned spread.
With a fust class Stetson on my head.
A bran new slicker tied on behind–
It’s strange how yore clo’se improves your mind.
Nice new clo’es purtects the hide
And sorter contents a man inside.
Clo’es does a heap toward makin’ the man.
Try goin’ without and you’ll onderstand.
