From childhood at Hu`ehu`e I learned to throw a lasso and crack the whip The broad open plains I love My white horse goes prancing in the high pasture land Hu`ehu`e is a fine place, lying there below Too bad there‘s not even one fish (cowboy) The cowboys went to Kahulu`u town Where the palm leaves beckon In the kukui leaf shade The birds of the upland are made still The story is told Of learning to throw a lasso and crack the whip |
