My Tribute to Roy Rogers by Gary Lundblad (copyrite 1998)



R

is for Roy's RIGHTNESS to every boy and girl. Roy cared about everyone of them and asked them all to live by The Cowboys Ten Commandment, which is the Cowboy Way.

1. "He must not take unfair advantage of an enemy."
2. "He must never go back on his word."
3. "He must always tell the truth."
4. "He must always be gentle with children, elderly people and animals."
5. "He must not possess racially or religious intolerant ideas."
6. "He must help people in distress."
7. "He must be a good worker."
8. "He must respect women, parents and his nation's laws."
9. "He must neither drink or smoke."
10. "He must be a patriot."
written by Gene Autry
