~ As they looked over the string one pony stood out.....
Not because of his strengths, he was anything but stout
The cowboys began to joke about his size and build
One said, his not worth a bullet or he would be killed
Then He come riding up, the cowboy all knew as J C
Said my Father sent me, to have a look and see
We’re going to gather our herd, need some strong mounts
Ones that will not weaken, when it really counts
I’m not looking for papers or even their blood line
Just need to find the ones; that can hold a fighter on a twine
As he looked them over said I’m looking at their heart
Then He pointed and said that’s where I’ll start
The cowboys all looked to see which pony had chose
Then all around the pen, noise and laughter arose
They could not believe, it was the cull that He was pointing at
As He pushed back, His spotless white cowboy hat
Now boys you can laugh, but he’s the best horse in this herd
He will be a champ, trust me take my word
So they cut the cull from the herd, laughing all the way
Then J C rode over, to find out the price he would pay
One of them asked, what will you give for this here cull
J C sat there in the saddle, as in His mind he did mull
Then he stepped off His horse that was colored blood red
This horse, was a beauty, strong and well bred
He said I’ll trade you straight up, the cull for this here stud
My Father sent me for the cull and I’ll pay for him in blood
