SAM WALDEN SAID IT BEST,
DEEN COVEY, MOUNTIAN MAN WHAT CAN YOU SAY,
SHOULD HAVE LIVED BACK IN THE DAY.
TRAINS HORESES AND DOGS AND HOGS,
MAKES BEAUTIFUL FURNITURE OUT OF LOGS.
HORSES HE RIDES ALMOST EVERYDAY,
THEY UNDERSTANDS ALL THAT HE SAYS,
A HELPING HAND TO YOU HE WILL LEND,
A GOOD FRIEND, ONE THAT YOU CAN DEPEND.
MANY TRAILS HE HAS GONE DOWN,
WITH DOGS AND HORSES HE’S ALWAYS AROUND.
WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT OLD DEEN,
COWBOY FRIEND TALL AND LEAN.
THE BEST AROUND THE LAST OF HIS KIND,
A FRIEND GOOD AS YOU’LL FIND.
