Racing at the Routt County Fair

I didn't know Si Dawson,
But I knew Coke Roberds well.
They built our famous race track
So I've heard people tell

They always had good saddle broncs
Top riders rode them for the count.
The ropers tied big Hereford calves.
They each had a real good mount.

Sometimes there was a fight or two.
We always got our money's worth.
Barnum had the circus, but
We had the greatest show on earth.
