lyrics

Smiley the cowhand rode into town
On a horse with a prosthetic leg
His hair was cloudy grey; his clothes were dusty brown
His handicapped horse was named Peg

The town did not need cowhands; they had more than their share
Especially not one with such a special mare
So Smiley took a job repairing wagon wheels
4 for the cost of 3; such fantastic deals!

When people came to see him he was quiet and shy
He didn’t talk if he didn’t need; he weren’t that kinda guy
But if they ever asked him what made his wheels so great
He had a little wisdom which he would then relate

Thirty spokes share one hub; a hole's needed for a wheel
A vase with that won’t hold flowers has no place upon a the seal
Doors and windows for a room are most desirable
What good is a doorway if the doorway’s always full?
