The Torgut (also spelled Torghut, Torguud; Mongol: Торгууд, "the Silks") are one of the four major subgroups of the Four Oirats. The Torghut ruling dynasty traced its descent to the Kereit ruler Wang Khan's bodyguards.

They might be kheshigs of the Great khans before Kublai khan. The Torgud clan first appear as an Oirat tribe in the middle 16th century. After the collapse of the Four Oirat Alliance, A bulk of Torghuts under Kho Orluk separated from other Oirats and moved west to Volga in 1630, forming the core of the Kalmyks. A few Torghut nobles followed Toro Baikhu Guushi Khan into Koke Nuur, becoming part of the Upper Mongols. In 1698, 500 Torghuds went on pilgirimage to Tibet but were unable to return. Hence, they were resettled in Ejen by Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. In 1699 15,000 Torghud households returned from Volga to Zungaria where they joined the Khoits. After the fall of the Zungars, one of their princes, Taiji Shyiren, fled to Volga region with 10,000 families in 1758. The name probably originates from the Mongolian language word "torog" meaning "silk."

50 Years Too Late

I like spring and dogs
and rusty screen doors
candle light on creaky wood floors
a good sunrise and fireflys in a jar, yes
banjo wingin thru the Pines
Way I feel on a home-made wine
And jug fishin' under a sky full of stars
I'm ok,Yes I'm just fine
Just wish the world would move slower
Or that I could go back in time
Well I'm just a down home southern
Lord Don't need nothin'
just enough to get me by
I was raised at an early age
When you shake a man's hand
You look him square in the eye
I'm a real cool old school
Don't you lie to me fool
There ain't a dang thing
About the day
Cause I'm a modern day John Wayne
Took my dad's last name
Born 50 years too late
What ever happened to an honest days work
Sweatin' hard in a flannel shirt
It's a fast paced red race
No givin all taker
Who's gonna finish first
Now day's it's safe to say
That a damn dog's got more rights
Cause the administration is tryin'
To rule the population
Folks we gotta stand up we gotta fight
Don't complain
Take it all in stride
Seems the old world it has changed
Almost overnight
Well I'm still a tell-all southern
Don't mean nothin' just enough
to get me by
I was raised at an early age
When you shake a man's hand
You look him square in the eye
I'm a real cool old school
Don't you lie to me fool
There ain't a dang thing
About the day
Cause I'm a modern day John Wayne
Got my daddy's last name
Born 50 years too late
I'm just down home southern
Lord I don't need nothin'
Just enough to get me by
I was raised at an early age
When you shake a man's hand
You look him square in the eye
I'm a real cool old school
Don't you lie to me fool
There ain't a dang thing
About the day
Cause I'm a modern day John Wayne
Got my daddy's last name
