Legends of Cutting [German translation]

The legends were young

when the range was still open

The cattle still roamed on the land

and they watched and they listend

They learned from the old ones

the business of makin' a hand

They still remember the days

with the wagon

working cattle in the old cowboy way

and though times have changed

the legends ride on

and they're still riding with us today

[Chorus:]

Buster and Shorty

Matlock and Don

Mr. Pat is still horseback still keeping on

There is a new generation

and they are coming on strong

but where would we all be today

if the legends of cutting

had not shown us the way

[Chorus:]

Buster and Shorty

Matlock and Don

Mr. Pat is still horseback still keeping on

There is a new generation

and they are coming on strong

but where would we all be today

if the legends of cutting

had not shown us the way
