A Cattlemans Brew

Back at the ranch in the cowboys days of ole

Our cattle drives meant alot to us and our ranch cook

Even more, we would stop along after a hard days work on the trail

Set up a campfire just right, and then the grub time for our next ride

Ham hocks and beans, sourdough biscuits, and sonofabitch stew

What a brew, calf heart, liver, brains, some lean beef, and marrow gut

The best was yet to come, getting that pot real nice and hot, boiling water

Over the campfire we would just throw in the coffee grounds right into it

Filters were for city slickers, you know, and then get our tin cups ready

We'd fill her up and add some cool water so that the grounds would lay at the bottom

Now, with our right hand with a cup of cattlemens brew, and our left thumb in our belt

We were ready for the next hardy trail down that old El Rancho California path

Just us boys and our brew "Yeaha"
