    Powder River Let'er Buck
THE ROUNDUP
«powder River, let’er buck,” a surging mass of cattle
Roundup wagon’s full of chuck pots and pans
a'rattle
Steers and doggies, beefs and broncs, heaving flanks
a’quiver
Hear the wranglers yip, “Whoopee, hurrah fer
“Powder River.”
Clouds of dust and ropes awhirl, snubbing broncs
a’standing
Bellowing mavericks holding down, every outfit
branding
Deep the mud and cold the rain, loud the rolling
thunder
Slickers nigh for buckaroos, and waddies crawlin under.
Loud the steers and heifers bawling, doggies all
a’roaming !
Strays set out for stomping grounds and headed for
Wyoming
Bridles off for feeding grounds horns and hoofs
a’rattle
One eye open; half asleep, aherdin’ onery cattle.

They from “powder River” :
Cookie yells from pots and pans, Come on yuh ornery guzzards 
Come and get er or out she goes, I'll feed her to the
buzzards.
Herders left and herders right, brones and cup,
horses ;
Sougans under starry skies, wagons for the bosse
Old chinook’s a’changing west, angry bulls a’hoor,.

ains looming.
Flopping hats and shaggy chaps, doggies all a’shiver
Top screws shouting, “Spool yore beds, and home fer
“Powder River”
Circling riders singing low, a’zooming o'er the
prairies
Pens a bulging, hear them shout, “We're going’ tuh
see our Marys.”
Thundering hoofs across the range, sunburnt hides
and faces
Twisters spinning east and west, cowboys running
races.
Scratch So broncs you riding fools, A big whoopee
hey giver
“We're wild and wooly full of fleas, and bound fer
fi y Tull ut fleas, and boun
“Powder River.”
