Lyrics

Ragtime Cowboy Joe

He always sings swingy music to the cattle as he swings

Back and forward in the saddle on a horse

That is syncopated gaited

And it’s such a funny meter

To the roar of his repeater

How he runs

When they hear the fellows guns

Because the western folks all know

He’s a highfaluting, rooting, tooting son of a gun from Arizona

Ragtime cowboy

Talk about your cowboy

Ragtime cowboy Joe

He always sings to the cattle as he swings

Back and forward in his saddle on a horse

That is syncopated gaited

And there’s such a funny meter

To the roar of his repeater

How they run

How they run

When they hear the fellows gun

Because they know he’s a highfaluting, rooting, tooting son of a gun from Arizona

Ragtime cowboy

Oh, what a cowboy

Ragtime cowboy Joe

He’s always singing

He’s always singing to his cattle

See ’em a swingin’

See ’em  swingin’ in his saddle

You won’t find no one hanging around

Not when he comes  a ridin’ to town

How they run when they hear his gun

Because they know that here comes ragtime cowboy Joe

He always sings to his cattle

As he swings on a horse

That is syncopated gaited

And there’s such a funny meter

To the roar of his repeater

How they run

How they run when

They hear the fella’s gun

Because they know he’s a highfaluting son of a gun from Arizona

We don’t mean Joe from Kokomo

Or any other Joe you know

No we mean ragtime cowboy Joe

We don’t mean Joe from Kokomo

Or any other Joe you know

No we mean ragtime cowboy Joe
