lyrics

Cowboy Poetry

Black camp coffee from the cowboy cook
& colt startin’ lessons you won’t find in a book.
Unless it’s a Bill Dorrance book.

Dorrance Cow Camp,
Pittsburgh Landing.
They turned us into history,
then came to watch our branding.

Work becomes a form of prayer,
and God is the country,
and I have been there.

“and therein grew great tracts of Wilderness,
wherein the beast was more & more
but man was less & less.”

-Hells Canyon & Eagle Cap Wilderness, May-Aug., XVII

- quote from Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s “Idylls of the King - The Coming of Arthur” 1859
