I ride an old paint, I lead an old dan
I'm goin' to Montana to throw the hoolihan
They feed in the coulees, they water in the draw
Their tails are all matted, their backs are all raw

- Arlo Guthrie

His father is an icon of Okie.


Okemah was one of the singiest, square dancingest, drinkingest, yellingest,
preachingest, walkingest, talkingest, laughingest, cryingest, shootingest,
fist fightingest, bleedingest, gamblingest, gun, club and razor carryingest of
our ranch towns and farm towns, because it blossomed out into one of our
first Oil Boom Town

- Woody Guthrie

He is one of my admired role models. His description of Okemah perfectly
fits what Okies are all about.
