FLINT FARGO

by Charles E Minshall


_________________________

Flint Fargo was a tall man
Over six foot three.
His wife Nell was as tall
If she stood on his knee.

He was a tall hard man,
But little Nell had spunk,
One shake of her finger
Would tame that hunk.

Flint was a mans man
That at work worked hard.
But at night a gambler,
Hard with a card.

What a wild man he was
When out on the town.
There wasn't a man
That would face him down.

To Flint a good brawl
Was fun and play,
He would fight anytime
Of the night or day.

He too was a hard man
On a wild bronc ride,
He rode them hard,
He had his pride.

He was harder yet
When doggin' a steer,
He would twist their tail
And twist their ear.

Flint was a hard man
All of his life,
But it was yes Dear, yes Dear,
when he answered his wife.
