The Bunk House MirrorThat old bunk house mirror that most of us knew. I remember it yet, and I know that you do. One corner broke out, and sort of a crack That run half way across and a quarter way back. The cheap wooden frame with the varnish all gone, But the grease and the dirt and the fly specks stayed on.And then the quicksilver was missin” in spots, But that didn”t bother a cow hand a lot. He picked the good places and managed to shave As he looked at his face in the ripples and waves, No wonder the mirror was terribly wrecked When you thought of the faces it had to reflect.And the comb that hung down from a string underneath. It was chuck full of gum though it lacked a few teeth. And there on the bench was a rusty wash pan Where we smeared yeller soap on our faces and hands. The bosses them days didn”t go fer expense. You could buy the whole outfit fer ninety five cents.But boy let me tell you that old lookin” glass Has reflected the faces of men with a past. I wonder it didn”t back up with surprise If it read what was lurkin” just back of their eyes. I will bet there”s a lot of old hands can recall The battered old mirror that hung on the wall.
