He wore wire rimmed glasses
Weird looking clothes
Had a fine rig for his horse
Passing thru I suppose
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But I learned from a friend
He was out here to stay
And that everyone said
He would not ride away
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He had bought a large spread
And had cattle to work
But no one really liked him
He looked like an upitty jerk
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But the word really spread
That old four eyes was alright
And every cowboy in town
Wanted a job over night
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He could ride he could rope
With the guys all day long
And at the end of the day
Drink liquor and sing songs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well they all came to like him
And they worked side by side
They would do anything for him
And together they’d ride
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One day he stopped in
For a whiskey or two
When a drifter came in
Just out of the blue
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He said pour me a drink
Charge it to four eyes over there
Well Ted never moved
He didn’t care
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well the drifter he drank
And to all their surprise
Ordered another and again
Said charge it to four eyes
----------------------------------- ----
Well Ted had enough
And he knocked the man down
Drug him outside
And watched him leave town
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now all the cowboys there
Were astounded and surprised
That this drifter was beaten
By the man called four eyes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that’s not all
That’s the way that it went
Cause He would return
To become the 26th President
