Baths outside --
It's a country thing...

After a hard day’s work
of rounding up the cattle,
fixing fences fast and
grounding the grass, you’ll mantle
the horses and red-hot stamp them...

You may break for brunch:
coffee (necessary) and a bite to eat,
But then it’s back on your feet.
More jobs to greet..

Then, when the sun starts setting,
slipping behind the slopes, staged in the set background,
as it's done on 'McLeod's Daughter's' and ‘Yellowstone’ —
You throw off your clothes and get right in
to the outside bath,
And soak off the grime from your worn out bones.

Sip a cold beer, or shot a wild whiskey, with relieving cheer!
"ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
