 This collection, "Sing 'E m Cowboy, Sing 'Em", is presented with
th e humble ambition t.o be entertaining .
The melodies and text have been gathered from the four corners of
ou r land . Who made them? Frankly , they ju st grew- from a s111
a ll

original theme, in many instances gleaned from some remembereJ

melody from foreign shores.
I,.
At the round-up, the camp fire, or on the trail, ea.ch cowboy
trou badour added a little something in the way of an md1v1dual j
t.ouch or version and so they grew int.o many variations
We have selected what we think is the most accepted version.
presented in singable, simple arrangeme nts so that everybody can
play and "Sing 'Em."

2 . Early in the Spring we round up the dog ies;
Mark and brand and bob off their tails;
Round up the horses, load up the chuch wagon,
Then throw the dogies upon the long trail.
3. Some boy goes up the trail for pleasure,
But that's where they gets it most awfully wrorg;
For you haven't any idea the trouble they give us
Wh ile we go driving them all along.
4 . Your mothers was raised away down in Texas,
Where the j imps on weed and sand-burrs grow;
Now we'll fill you upon prickly pear and cholla
Till you are ready for the trail to Idaho. .,,-
5. I ain't got no fathe r, I ain't got no mother,
My friends they all left me when first I did roa m;
I ain't got no sisters, I ain•t got no brothers,
I'm a poor lonesome cowboy and a long way from home.

And very hard tried to make her my own bride.
Her fathe r he sighed and her mother she crie d,
To see her throw hers elf away.

And threw him ouquets on the sta ge ,
Which caused her to meet him, how lie ran me down,
To t ell it would t ake a whole p age.

Found there her mother and father alo ne

To my hor ror that she 'd run away.

With him with th e great e st of ease,
From two stories high he had lowered her down ,
_To the ground on bis flying trapeze.

We started for the ranch next day;
Brown augured me most all the way;
He said that punching was only pl ay,
That it was no work at all;
That all you had to do was ride;
'Twas only dri fting with the tide.
The son of gun, oh how he lied ;
He certainly had his gall.
3.
Sometime s my horse would buck and br ea k
Acros s the pr airie he would take,
As if running for a stake.
It seemed to th em but pl ay,
Sometimes I couldn't catch them at all,
Sometimes my horse would sli p and fall
And I'd shoot on like a cannon ball
Till the earth came up my way.
The Dreary Black Hills
go ' a - way, stay at
TuneUke

4.
Th ey sa ddle d me up an old gray hack,
Wit h tw o set fasts on his back,
They p adde d him down with a gunnv sack
And use d my bedding a ll ;
Wh en I got on he lef t the ground,
Went up in t he air and looked around,
Whi le I came down and busted the ground;
And got one hell of a fall.
5.
They picked me up and carried in
And rubbed me down with an old stake -pin.
"That's the way th t:y all begin,
You•re doing swell, says Brown.
"And by th e morning if you don't die
I'll give you another horse to try.
"Oh say, can't I wal k;'says I.
Says he, "Yep back to town'.'
o.
l'\ ·e traveled up, I've t raveled down,
I've tra,•eled thi!> country round and round;
l'\·e lived in city, I\e lived in town,
And I've got this much to say:
Before you try CO\\ punching ki ss your wife
Take heavy insurance on your life,
Then cut your thr oat WJlh a carving knife,
It's easier to die th at way.

2.
The round-house in Cheyenne is filled 1:ver y nig ht
With loafers and bummers of mos t eve r y pligh t.
On their backs is no clothes, in thei r pocke t s no bi ll s.
Each day they kee p starting for the drea r y Bl ac k Hills.

I got to Cheye nne, no gold could I fin d .
I thought of the lunch route I'd le f t far behin d ;
Through rain, hail and snow, frozen plumb to t he g i lls.
They call me th e orphan of the d reary Blac k Hills.
4.
K ind friend, to conclude, my advice I 'll un fo ld:
Do n't go to the Black Hill s a-hunting fo r gold;
Railroad speculators , their poc kets you'll f ill
By taking a tr ip to those dr eary Blac k Hills.
5.
Don't go away, stay at home if you ca n.
S t ay awa y from that city, t hey call it Cheyenne,
For ol d Sitting Bull or Comanche B ills,
They will take off you r sca lp o n the dr e ar y Black H i1ls . .

I wonde r how he does fee l,
For he ate of J 1:sse1s bread and he slept in Jesse•s bed,
Then la id poor J esse in his grave.

Jesse was a man, a fr iend to the poor,
He•d never see a man suffe r pain ;
And with his brother Frank he robbe d th e Chicago ban k,
And stop p ed the Glend a le tr ain.

It wa s on Satu rd ay night , Je sse was at home
Talking with his family brave ;
Robert Ford came along like a thief m the n 1ght
And laid poor Jesse in his grave.

Whe n Full e r came to he ar he had lost his false love
Who m he'd vowed by th e pow er s to wed,
With a heart full of woe unto War ren he did go,
And smilingly to him he said :
"Young man,you•ve done a wr ong to grati fy your cause
By saying th at 1 left a lov ing wife.
Say that you•ve wron ge d me, for althoug h I break th e laws,
Young Wa rr en, I'll t ake away your l ife!'

Then Warren replied," The wrong must be denied,
Your da rling to my hear t she is bound,
And furth er I may say th is is our wedding day,
In spite of a ll the heroes in t own'.'
Then Fu lle r in th e pa ssion of his love and anger bound,
<Alas it cause d many to cry )
At one fat al :,hot kille d Wa rren on the spot,
And smilingly said " I'm ready to d ie'.'
5.
The time it drew nigh when Fuller was to die;
He bid all his audie nce adieu.
Like an an gel he d id stand for he was a handsome man,
On his brea&l he wore a ribbon of blue.
Ten thousand s pec t ato rs did smite them on the brea:.t,
And t he guards had a tear in th eir eye,
Saying , '·Curse d be she who brought this mi:,ery,
Would to God in his st ea d she had to die'.'
6.
The gentle God of Love looked with sorrow from above,
The rope fl ew asun der li ke th e sand .
Two doctors for the pay t hey murdered him, lhey sa,·,
And hung him by ma in st rength of h and. •
But they cor pse it was buri ed and the doctors lost their prev.
Oh, t hat maiden was br ibed, I beli eve. •
J3ad women for a certainty are t he downfall of men
As A<lam was beguiled by Eve. '

said she had an• oth - er man pi cked out for Brown-eyed Lee.-

3. She talked to friend s and neighbors,

And sai d that she woul d fight.
She'd get her old six-shooter out
And p ut old Red t o flight.
But lover s laugh at shooters,
I
And the old she devil, t oo.
I said I'd have my dar t ing ,
If she d idn•t pro ve unlr ue. I
4. I borrowed Dad's old buggy
And got J im•s forty-one.
And started down to Kerns•s,
I
T hin k ing I would have some fun.
I'm not th e one t o cr aw- fish
When l am in a tight; I
I said " fll have my angel
And no t be put to flig ht'.'

5. I went on down to Kerns's,
W ith the de vil in my head,

I
Or I'll leave t he old fol k s dead !'
Good for t une fell upon me ,
My da rling proved untrue. I
I give her bac k he r lette rs,
And bid he r a fond adieu.

6 . I pre sse d her to my ach i ng heart

I
Kissed her a last farewell,
And p raye d a permanen t pr aye r to God
To send her Ma to h ell.

" Th is go ing out on the buff'lo range Dep ends upon th e pay.
I
But if you'll pay go od wages And t ransportation, too,
I think, sir, I will go with you To th e range of the buffalo!'

3 . "Yes, I will pay good wag es, give transportatio n, too,
Prov ided you will go with me and stay the summer through;
But if you shou ld grow homesick, come back to J ac ksboro;

With navy six and needl e gun, our tr oubles did begin.
Our way it was a pleasa nt one, th e rou t e we had t o go I
Unti l we crossed Pease R ive r on t he r ange of the buffal o.
5 . He fed us on suc h sorry chuc k I wished myself 'mos t dead.
It was old jerked beef, cr oton coffee and sou r br ead. I
Pease River's as salty as he ll fire, th e water I could never go.
0 God! I wished I had nev er come to the ran ge of th e buffal o.

6. The season being near over, old Crego he did say

The crowd had been extravagant, was in debt to him t hat d ay.
We coaxed him and we begg ed him and still it was no go;
We lef t old Crego •s bones to bleach on the r ange of th e buffalo.
7. Oh, it's now weve crossed Pease River and homeward we are bound.
No more in th at hell-fi r ed count ry shall ever we be foun d.
Go home to our wives and sweethearts, tell others not to go ,
For God's forsaken th e buff alo r ange and th e damned old buff a lo.

My Love Is A Rider (continued )

2.
The first t ime I met him, Twas ear ly in spring;
He was riding a br onc ho , A hig h headed thing.
He tippe ~ me a wink, As he g a ily did go ,
For he wis hed me to not ice hi s bucki ng broncho.

a.
The next time I sa w h im •tw a s sometime that fall,
Swinging the gi rl s at Tomlinson's hall.
He laughed and h e talke d as we danced to and fro,
And promised he' d neve r ride on a not her broncho.

4.
He made me some presents, among them a ring.
The return that I made him was a far be t ter t hing;
'Twas a young maiden's heart, I'd h ave you all k now ;
He•d won it by riding his bucking bronc ho .

5.
My love has a gun , and that gun he can use,
Bu t he's quit his gun fighting as well as his booze;
And he's sold him his saddle, bis spurs, and his rope ,
And the r e's no more cow-punching, and that's what I hop e.

6.
Listen all you young maidens , where•er you reside,
Ride shy of the cowboy who swings the raw-hide .
He'll court you and p et you and leave you and go
Up t he tr ail in t he sprin g on his bucking broncho.

 Th e Days Of Forty - Nine (continued) 69
a,Thereis old "Aunt Jess ", tha t hard old cuss, 6.There is Ragshag Jim, the roaring man,
Who never would repent. Who could out- roa r a buffalo,you bet.
He never mis se d a single mea l, He roared all day and he roared all oight,
Or never pa id a cent. And 1 guess he's roar ing yet.
But old Aunt Jess~' like all the res t , One night Jim fell in a washout hole,
At death he did resign, 'Twas a roaring bad desig n1
And in his bloom went up in the flume And in that hole Jim roared out his soul
In t he days of Forty Nine. In the da ys of Forty-Nine.
4 .Tber e is Wylie Bill, the funny man 1 7. There wa s Monte Pete , I'll ne'er forget
Who was full of funny t r icks. The luck he alwa ys bad .
When he was in a poker game, He would deal for you both day and nigh t
He wa s always hard as bricks . Or as long as he had a scad.
He would ante you a stud, he would play you a draw, It wa s a pistol sho t that laid Pete out 1
He>d go you a ha tful bline It was his la st re sign,
In a str uggle with death Bill lost his breath And it ca ugh t Pete dead sure in the door
fn the day s of Forty - Nine. In the days of Forty- Nine.
5.There wa s New York Jake, the butcher boy, 8. 0 fa ll the comrades that I've had
Who was fond of getting t ight. Th ere' s none that's left l o boast,
Eve ry time he got on a spree And I'm l eft alone in my misery
He was spoiling for a fight. L ike some poor wandering gh ost.
One night Jake rampage d again st a knife And as I pass from town lo town,
In t he hands of old Bob Sine, Th ey call me tho: rambling sign,
And ove r Jake t hey held a wake Since the days of old a nd the days of go ld
In th e days of For ty Nine. And the days of Fo rty-Nine.

8. She saw the cattle charging an d turned her pony 'round ,

Then sh e sa w her blan ket dragging almost on the ground,
And ben din g in her saddle to replace the blanke t tried,
J ust then she lost her balance in front of that wild tide.
4 . Utah sh outed a warning as he came up riding fast
But little did p oor Utah know that ride would be his last,
He swung low from his sadd le to take her safe from harm
We thought that h e'd succeed to take her to his arm.

6. Such a s tra in upon his sa ddle had never been put before
The cinc he s gave b~neath h im and he fell beside Lenore,
And r ea ching for the blanket he tried to get ahold
Wh en I saw t he cattle charging it was then my blood ran cold.

6 . Runn ing quic kl y with the blanket he waved it o•er his head,
He s houted to his comrade lie still Lenore he said.
He turn ed the maddened cattle from Lenore his little friend,
And as the mighty herd rushed toward him he turned to meet his end.

7. Then shots r an g ou~ like lightn ing from Utah's forty-foi:r,

He dr opp ed the leadin g cattle as the y came on w it h a roar
An d when we got up to him where hie broken body lay
He' d gave his life but saved Len ore on that eve ntfu l day.

Oh, when I held he r in ~y arms So I star t ed back to mtonce loved home~
I thought she had ten thousan~ charms; Inquire d for the g'irl who was my own;
Her caresses were soft, her kisses we re sweet They said "Young man she's wed a richer lift'
Saying, We'll get married next timP we meet•?' Therefore' young fello~ you must seek anothe /
4. wife'.
'Twas in the year of eight y -three "Oh, curse y<Jur gold and silver too,
That A.J. Stinson hired me· Oh,.curse a girl who won't prove tr ue,
He said,"Young Man, 1 want )·ou to go I'll go right back to the Rio Grande .
And drive my herd into Mexico. ' And get me a job with a cowboy band'.'
5. 0.
It was early in the year "Oh buddy, oh buddy, oh please stay h,m1e,
When I took the tr ail to drive those steer Don't be forever on the r oam,
With la ughter light and a cowboys song The re's lots of girls more true than I,
To Mexico we rolled along So please don 't go where the bullets fly'.'
6. 10.
Whe n I arrived in Mexico, "Yes, I'll go ba ck where the girls are true,
I thoug ht about the girl who loved me so, And a false-hearted love I neve r knew,
So I wr ote a letter to my dear , I'll go right bat.:k where_ th ~ b~lle_ts}lY,
But not cl word in return did I hear. And stay on the cow tra il till 1 die.

He matched her in scrub races and took her t o t he Fai r.·
Sam used to co in the money and spent it just as fr ee,
He always dr an k good whiskey wherever he might be.
3. Sam left the Coll ins ranch in the merry month of May
With a herd of Texas cattle the Blac k Hills for to se e,
Sold out in Custer City and then got on a sp ree
A harder set of cowboys you seldom ever see.
4 .On their way bac k to Texas they robbed the U. P. t rain,
And then split up in couples and started out ag a in.
J oe Collins and his p artne r were . ove r ta k en soon,
With all their hard-earned money t hey h ad to meet th eir doom.

Rode into t he .town of Den t on w ith all h ie fri ends t o sh are .

They w hi pp e d t he Tex a s Ra nge rs and r a n t he Boys in Blue .
7. Sam had another companion , called Arkansas for s h ort ,
Was shot by a Tex a s Ra nger by t he na me of Thoma s Floyd;
Ob, Tom is a big s ix-foote r a nd t hin k s he' s might y fly ,
But I can tell you his r ac ke t, - he' s a dea d be at on the sl y.
8. J im Murphy wa s arreste d and th en rele as ed on b ai l ;

But Mayor Jones had post e d J im an d t hat wa s a ll a st a ll ,
'Twas only a plan to capture Sam before t he comin g Fall .
9. Sam met his fate at Round Roc k, July t he tw en ty - fi r st.
T hey _pierced poo r Sam w ith r ifle balls and emptie d out his purs e.
Poor Sam he is a corpse now and si x feet unde r clay ,
And J ackson's in the bushes t rying t o get aw ay.
1O.J im had borrowed Sam's good gol d and didn't want to pay;
The only shot he saw was t o g iv e poo r Sam aw ay .
He sold out Sam and Barnes an d lef t their fri ends to mourn ,
Oh, what a scorching J im will get wh ,.n Gabrie l blows his horn .
11. And so he sold out Sam and Barn es an d le ft their frie nds to mourn ;
Oh, what a scorching J im w ill get wh en Gab ri ~! blow s h is horn .
Perhaps he•s got to Hea ven, t he r e' s none of us c a n s ay,
But if I'm r ight in my su rm ise he's gone the othe r way.
