Mariecor Ruediger Quotes

.....I'm Certain I Asked For A Cowboy One December Past--
For I Wanted The Excitement Of Pioneers To Last;
I Ached To Sing With A Fiddle, Speak With A Drawl And Twang;
I Surely Requested John Wayne To Be Part Of My Gang.

Of Course I Dreamed Of A Cowboy In Those Yuletides Of Yore--
For I Wanted That Ace, That Corral Fighter, That Scout Roar;
I Ached For The Authentic Frontier Hero Of The West;
I Surely Requested The Sacred Battleground's Finest.

I Did Pray Santa'd Give Me A Cowboy Some Time Ago--
For I Wanted A Legend In Denim Wrangler For Beau;
I Ached To Be Rounded Up Safely By My Saddled Knight;
I Surely Requested I Be Prospected, Mined, Settled Right...
