Ragtime Cowboy Joe

[Verse 1]
Out in Arizona where the bad men are
Only thing to guide you is the Evening star
Roughest toughest man by far
Is Ragtime Cowboy Joe

[Verse 2]
Got his name from singing to the cows and sheep
Ev'ry night they say he sings the herd to sleep
With a voice hot, cool and sweet
Crooning soft and low

[Bridge]
He always sings swinging music to the cattle
While he swings back and forward in the saddle
On a horse, syncopated, gaited
Nothing could be sweeter than the roar of his repeater

[Verse 3]
How they run when they hear that fellow's gun
Because the Western folks all know
He's a rootin’, tootin’, high-falutin’ son-of-a-gun from Arizona

(Got his name from singing to the cows and sheep
Every night they say he sings the herd to sleep
With a voice hot, cool and sweet
Crooning soft and low, crooning soft and low)
