Don't let the buzzards grind you down.

V1
Always been a nature lover.
I feed the wild life when it's cold.
I'm just wary of the buzzards
watching ducklings cross the road.
V2
There's a bear up in the mountains.
He gets lonesome now and then.
Comes to see me when he's hungry.
Buzzards never bother him.
Ch.
When you're trying to stand your ground
don't drag that heavy load around.
Forbid your face to wear a frown.
Paint on the wide smile of a clown.
Don't let the buzzards grind you down.
V3
Took a trip to Yellowstone.
Would have stayed there if I could.
With the buffalo to roam.
Picking daisies for my food.
V4
But I got married back this spring.
Seemed like a good plan at the time.
Blew my last nickels on the ring.
Then she ran off with my last dime.
Ch.
When you're laughed at in the town
and all your colours turn to brown.
Forbid your face to wear a frown.
Paint on the wide smile of a clown.
Don't let the buzzards grind you down.
