Taurus Gaucho - but in which caliber?

[Pathfinder]

Don -

Instead of the "Old Cowhand" song, try singing Royal Wade Kymes' "I'm a Cowboy" instead. It might be a better fit . . . 

[DonWorsham]

- what finish did you get on your Gaucho?

Uhhhh, can you hum a few bars?

Sorry, meant Kimes. Ever notice how a bandaid on your typing finger gets in the way?

Here's the song:

You say you wanna be a cowboy?
Well, you gotta wear a hat.
I went out and bought me some brand new blue jeans
I think that’s right where it’s at.
And someone said “Cowboy Up!”
So I went down and bought me a brand new Ford pickup

Chorus:
Cuz I’m a cowboy
Yeah I’m a cowboy
I’m a rootin’ tootin’, sho nuf shootin’
I’m a cowboy!

Well, I thought I’d try my hand at ridin’
So I went down to a rodeo
I said that don’t look so tough
I think I can give you all a real show”
They found this here thing they called a brahma
They said Doomsday was the name of this here bull
I rode him 28 seconds
They’s a hollerin’ “Git off!”
I said “I ain’t no fool!”

Chorus

That Cadillac it’s pretty
Goes along with that purple hat
Them patent boots son, you just can’t wear ‘em
You need to see some Westerns
As far as I can see
That is if you want to be like me

Chorus

[DonWorsham]

As recorded by Bing Crosby in 1936.

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tan
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer cause I don't know how
Sure ain't a fixin to start in now
Yippie yi yo kayah

I'm an old cowhand and I come down from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride, ride, ride 'fore I learned to stand
I'm a riding fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star State
Cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8
Yippie yi yo kayah

We're old cowhands from the Rio Grande
And we come to town just to hear the band
We know all the songs that the cowboys know
'Bbout the big corral where the doggies go
We learned them all on the radio
Yippie yi yo kayah


I'm an old cowhand Down from the Rio Grande
Oh where the west is wild all around the borderland
Where the buffalo roam around the zoo
and the Injuns run up a rug or two
and the old Bar X is just a barbecue, yeah
Yippie yi yo kayah

I'm a pioneer who began from scratch
I don't bat an eye in a shootin' match.
They don't call me Elmer, they call me Satch.
Yippie yi yo kayah
Yippie yi yo kayah

Get along little horsy
Get along little horsy
Yippie yi yo kayah, oh!

Sounds like a TV detective show from the 70's.

I guess Royal just updated it a bit - same thought.

And, as one who has seen plenty of south ends of north-bound cows, I must admit I am chagrined I could not remember past the first verse of Crosby's song.

You know, Pathfinder,  I'd like to mosey a few cows along the range...but only once and on the weekend and if food is included and it's not cold or raining or snowing...

My hat's off to those who do it on a regular basis!

All this cowboy talk is putting me in the mood for some beans!!
