| He always sings —
|
| Raggedy music to the cattle as he swings
|
| Back n' forward in a saddle on a horse —
|
| That is syncopated, gaited
|
| There is such a funny meter to the roar of his repeater
|
| How they run, oh when they hear the fella’s gun
|
| Because the Western folks all know
|
| He’s a highfalutin, rootin', tootin' son of a gun from Arizona —
|
| Ragtime Cowboy Joe
|
| Out in Arizona where the bad men are
|
| The only thing to guide you is an evening star
|
| The roughest, toughst man by far was
|
| Ragtime Cowboy Joe
|
| He got his nam from singin' to the cows n' sheep
|
| Every night they say he sings the herd to sleep
|
| In a bass voice, rich and deep
|
| Croonin' soft and low
|
| He always sings —
|
| Raggedy music to the cattle as he swings
|
| Back n' forward in a saddle on a horse —
|
| That is syncopated, gaited
|
| There is such a funny meter to the roar of his repeater
|
| How they run, oh when they hear the fella’s gun
|
| Because the Western folks all know
|
| He’s a highfalutin, rootin', tootin' son of a gun from Arizona —
