Ragtime Cowboy Joe

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
Out in Arizona where the bad men are
The only thing to guide you is an evening star
The roughest, toughеst man by far
Was ragtime Cowboy Joe

[Verse 2]
He got his namе 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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Talk about 'cha cowboy
