Subject:      Re: Boy or girl or my van true face?

I named my van 84 westy (Tiico) Ol' Paint, the paint is in fact old and mostly serviceable. This van has a lot of heart and is my daily driver. Here are the words to the song "Old Paint":

I ride an old paint I lead an old dan I'm going to Montana To throw a hoolihan They feed in the coolies They water in the draw Their tails are all matted Their backs are all raw.

Ride around Ride around real slow The fiery'n snuffy are raring to go.

This song even though in was written in the 1870? anyone? is an obvious reference to Westies.

Ok last verse:

Well when I die Take my saddle from the wall Put on my pony and lead it from the stall Tie my bones to his back Turn our faces to the west And will ride the prairie That we like the best.
