Lone Star Of Amarillo (Larry W.

Jones 07/10/2010) (song#6012) He strolled out in the stadium with no show of alarm All the cowboys rolled their eyes at the plowboy from the farm He said he came to tame that bronc there waiting in the chute Didn’t look like no broncbuster in the sodbuster suit Cowboys laughed out loud at the high-bib overalls he wore They said he’d never draw a crowd or hear a cheering roar Five hundred dollars was what they bet against his pursuit No sweat boys, said the broncbuster in the sodbuster suit The bad bronc that he’d heard about stood in chute number nine To describe just how mean he was would be hard to define Cowboys wondered how long it would be ‘fore he got the boot Plowboy from the farm, broncbuster in the sodbuster suit Well, he pulled down his farmer’s hat and opened up the gate There stood the big and bad ol bronc that looked at him with hate Cowboys knew they’d seen the last of the plowboy from the farm They said the die had been cast for the bronc named Fire Alarm The bronco tried to trample him, the plowboy from the farm But the farmer was lithe and trim and also strong of arm He swung upon the bronco’s back and gave a big salute A crackerjack, the broncbuster in the sodbuster suit Then old Fire Alarm’s rear end bucked so high up in the air He twisted and he turned trying to chuck him off of there But the farmer held the bronco’s mane and spurred with his boots He proved he came to tame that bronc in his sodbuster suit All the cowboys stared with open mouths at what they had seen The bronco they named Fire Alarm didn’t look quite as mean He used to be a bad outlaw, a horse of ill repute Til the farmer came to tame him in the sodbuster suit Fire Alarm just bowed his head and then headed for the chute Broken by a black land farmer who gave a shout and hoot The farmer won the bet and walked out with the money won The cowboys haven’t figured yet just how the deed was done Now, the lesson that we learn is that clothes don’t make the man A reputation earned is taken by the man that can So, all you cowboys listen and make sure your mouth is mute While I sing of the broncbuster in the sodbuster suit Not That Easy To Forget (Larry W. Jones 07/10/2010) (song#6013) Dear, I've tried to find a love that's new But I find my mind wants only you How I've searched and looked both night and day But my poor heart shook with much dismay Oh, I know you've found somebody new Although you knew it would make me blue You ran around but you're still my pet You're just not that easy to forget (instrumental) When you left I tried to draw the line But my heart dealt cards with awful signs Dear, it’s too hard give up on you yet You're just not that easy to forget Oh, I know you've found somebody new Although you knew it would make me blue You ran around but you're still my pet You're just not that easy to forget After The Clown Comes The Frown (Larry W.

Jones 08/26/2010) (song#6138) (Spoken) I was marooned on an island with peaceful, rolling waves While sailing toward new horizons in the southern Pacific I saw the graceful palm trees, the tumbling waterfalls But also double hulled canoes broken on the rocks By waves that drove them aground I stumbled over a weathered paddle washed up by the waves And pausing to rest, I heard a peaceful, tranquil sound I suddenly realized that even though the waves were gentle The ocean held secrets bound My mind was confounded by a mystery So profound and weighty that I could hardly breathe For weeks and months I wandered aimlessly on the deserted island Searching for answers to the many questions That ran through my bewildered mind Where were the islanders Why the broken canoes The weathered paddles This deserted island that Polynesians sailed to find At last, I could go no further My hope of rescue gone I sat down and thought of the sailings I braved And resting there, I learned the secret song Of the peaceful, rolling waves How I escaped from the deserted island I do not know But now, to settle my debt for being found I relate my lesson learned on that small island So many leagues ago (Choral singing) When days are peacefully quiet Where soft island breezes blow You would think the ocean's resting But you'll find this is not so Waves are rolling, softly rolling But deep ocean swells are strong And for ones who stop and listen It will sing this plaintive song Of big storms and dreadful weather Of their torn outrigger sails In darkened days and moonless nights Polynesians rode the swells Of the stars they used to guide them As they sailed the oceans wide And islands they were searching for Where so many of them died (Spoken) The waves always whisper to me Of the days of long ago When the voyaging Polynesians Fought the ocean's stormy blow How the chieftains ruled the valleys On islands the oceans gave But now their canoes are covered By the peaceful, rolling waves (Choral singing) How the long double hulled canoes Landed on the shore that day And the rocks that broke to pieces Boats, but not their will to stay They wandered in search of islands On Pacific ocean swells Some, their bones bleached white in dozens On the beaches where they fell Bones of the ancient mariners Lay dead in their island graves After months I could but wonder How islanders were so brave I found a place for the paddle In a nearby lava cave And its secret is still hidden By the peaceful, rolling waves This is what the breezes told me On the tropic island air Of Maori and Marquesans Tongans and Tahitians there If you wish to learn their secret Visit this Pacific shore And I'm sure you'll hear the story From peaceful, rolling waves forevermore From peaceful, rolling waves In The Middle Of Loneliness (Larry W.
