                    Horse Traders.
As I was growing up I met many a horse trader,
Some traveled and sold horses out of a stock trailer.
I met one way back in the 60’s when I started roping up town,
As I remember he was always a friendly sort of clown.

I know there’s hoss traders than ain’t real square,
But Marv Jira is know far and wide as being fair.
I really don’t think he’d take you if he could,
His word’s as strong and solid as oak wood.

You’ll see many colored horses when you drive in his yard,
Bays and grays, blacks and some the color of lard.
If your bank rolls getting a little lean,
Marv’s got the neatest tackshop you’ve ever seen.

He don’t charge high prices like them other guys,
His way of doing business shows he’s pretty wise.

I know where there’s one pretty happy little girl,
I bought my niece a good saddle there for a 100 dollar bill.
Some how it almost has to be against the law,
To sell new handmade saddles for the prices I saw.

Let me tell you something that’s going to make Marv famous yet,
I’m so sure of it I’d even make a little bet.
He’s got some new kind of cream,
That’ll grow hair on a door knob it would seem.

Now I ain’t really tryin to make a sale,
But I’ve heard it’ll even grow hair on an appaloosa’s tail.
It’s made for 4 legged critters, not a bald headed old fart,
I already checked that out cause sometimes I’m smart.

So when your travelin 16 tween Plank and White Lake,
There’s one sure stop you really ought to make.

Whether it’s to see a horse, new saddle or all the tack,
One things for sure, you’ll always want to come back.
One of the nicest people you’ll ever meet,
I’m betting Marv's a cousin to old St Pete.

Written for my long time friend, Marv Jira
