Ragtime Cowboy Joe - Jo Stafford, The Starlighters, Paul Weston

As he swings back and forward in the saddle

On a horse that is syncopated, gaited

And there’s such a funny meter to the roar of his repeater

How they run when they hear that fellow’s gun

Because the Western folks all know

He’s a highfaluting, scooting, shooting son-of-a-gun from Arizona

Fit as a fiddle and ready for love

He always sings raggy music to the cattle

As he swings back and forward in the saddle

On a horse that is syncopated, gaited

And there’s such a funny meter to the roar of his repeater

How they run when they hear that fellow’s gun

Because the Western folks all know

He’s a highfaluting, scooting, shooting son-of-a-gun from Arizona

Fit as a fiddle and ready for love
