15 seconds in the OK corral
That’ll do wonders to improve the morale
Bronco Billy love to ride wild fillies
His first ride he had the Willie Nillies
He named her Tilly, she was wild and free
Was it possible could it be? He had to see
Billy had to catch and tame this beautiful dame
His achievements gave him his proud name
Until the day he realized he met his match
Wrangling Tilly Billy dealt with a rough patch
Tilly reared back and forth and gave him a ride.
Billy fell off the horse, but took it in stride.
In the hospital with black and blue bruised pride
Newfound respect Billy stayed by Tilly’s side
He remembers the lesson of the wild ride
He was too cocky for his own good,
He had a show in front of the neighborhood
Knocked down a peg or two animal respect grew
Old age gets us all we don’t get to choose to call
Lessons learned give new Cowboys their turn
Bronco Billy no longer sows his wild oats
He teaches children how to ride their first goat
their head high with a smile a mile wide
Anything worse doing do it with pride?
Bootlegged Bronco Billy had his last riding
GoldBuckle belt he took the change in stride
Billy stays on the ground with the rodeo clown
their clown face painted for a night on the town
you’ll never catch Bronco Billy wearing a frown.
He was a celebrated Hero the BEST in town
Now Rodeo in town country folk gather around
Ribbons to be won for the old and young
Quilts candles crafts are all honored traditions
Youth 4H program with parents permission
Weekends kids take a goat home yes often
We are searching for the goat that ROAMS
A quilt can last 100 years with perfection
If an error made expert eyes detection
Under the eyes of scrutiny without objection
