Kinky Friedman's lyrics to "Ride 'Ern
jewboy” are an elegy for victims of the
Holocaust:

Ride, ride, ride
Ride 'em Jewboy
Ride 'em all around the old corral
IM with you
IM with you boy
If I've got to ride six million miles

Now the .smoke from camps are rising
See the helpless creatures on their way
WelZ old pa/ ain't it surprising
How far you can go before you stay

TWELVE MILE RC

Do not let the morning blind you
When on your sleeve you wore the yel-
low star
Old memories still live behind you
Can't you see by your outfit who you are

How long will you be driven relentlessly
around the world
The blood in the rhythms of the soul
Wild ponies all your dreams were broken
Rounded up and made to move along
The loneliness which can be spoken
Just swings a rope and rides inside a song

Dead limbs play with ringless fingers
A melody which burns you deep inside
Oh, how the song becomes the singers
May peace be ever with you when you ride

In the window candles glowing
Reminds you that today you are a child
The road ahead, forever rolling
And anything worth cryin' can be smiled

So ride, ride, ride
Ride 'em Jewboy
Ride 'em all around the old corral
fin with you
IM with _you boy
If e got to ride six million miles

In the years since his country music
career fizzled out, Friedman, a
University of Texas grad with a degree
in psychology, has gone on to other
pursuits, notably writing 11 best-sell-
ing mystery novels starring a fictional-
ized version of himself as the detec-
tive. He has also established a cool
Web site, www.kinkyfriedman.com ,
packed with fun stuff, including infor-
mation on his activism on behalf of
stray animals.
