The cowboy and his lingo
I acquire a hobby
When the cowboy talks
Singin' to 'em
Slickin' up
Bendin' an elbow
Chips that pass in the night

Gunmen and rustlers
Riding the highlines
Bucking out in smoke
Old timers
Range calico
Some typical cowboy expressions
Assorted figures of speech
More figures of speech
