Ragtime Cowboy Joe<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 by Grant Clarke (1891-1933)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThere are so many variations to the words \u2013 inclusions,
\nexclusions, and variations.\u00a0 Sing it as you like it.
\nYou\u2019ll find many renditions on YouTube!<\/span><\/p>\n

(chorus)<\/p>\n

He always sings ragged music to the cattle
\nAs he swings back and forward in the saddle
\nOn a horse (what a horse!) a syncopated gaiter
\nYou ought to hear the meter of the roar of his repeater
\nHow they run when they hear this fellow\u2019s gun
\nBecause the Western folks all know
\nHe’s a high-falutin, rootin, tootin,
\nSon-of-a-gun from Arizona
\nRagtime cowboy (Talk about your cowboy)
\nRagtime cowboy Joe<\/p>\n

(verse \u2013 sometimes sung first or not at all)<\/p>\n

Out in Arizona where the bad men are,
\nAnd the only thing to guide you is an evening star,
\nThe roughest, toughest man by far is Ragtime Cowboy Joe.<\/p>\n

Got his name from singing to the cows and sheep
\nEvery night they say he sings the herd to sleep
\nIn a bass so rich and deep, crooning soft and low.<\/p>\n

(verse \u2013 seldom sung)<\/p>\n

He\u2019s dressed up every Sunday in his Sunday clothes
\nHe beats it for the city where he always goes
\nAnd every girl in town is Joe’s cause he’s a ragtime bear.<\/p>\n

When he starts a spieling on the dance hall floor
\nNo one but a lunatic would start a war
\nWise men know his forty four makes men dance for fair.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
