(Grant Clarke, Lewis Muir and Maurice Abrahams)
Out in Arizona
where the bad men are,
And the only friend to guide you is an Evening Star,
The roughest,
toughest man by far
Is Ragtime Cowboy Joe.
Got his name from singing to the cows and
sheep
Every night they say he sings the herd to sleep
In a basso rich and
deep,
Crooning soft and low
cho: How he sings raggy music to his cattle
As
he swings back and forward in his saddle
On his horse (a pretty good horse)
Who
is syncopated gaited
And with such a funny meter
To the roar of his
repeater
How they run when they hear the feller's gun
Because the western
folks all know:
He's a hifalootin' scootin', shootin'
Son-of-a-gun from
Arizona
Ragtime cowboy (talk about your cowboy)
Ragtime cowboy
Joe.
Dressed up ev'ry Sunday in his Sunday clothes
He beats it for the village where
he always goes,
And ev'ry girl in town is Joe's
'Cause he's a ragtime bear;
When he
starts a-spieling on the dance hall floor,
No one but a lunatic would start a war
Wise men
know his forty-four
Makes men dance for fair.
Note: Written in 1912; revived in 1943
in an Alis Faye movie "Hello,
Frisco, Hello" and by Betty Hutton, 1945, in "Incendiary
Blonde." The
folk seem to have followed their usual practice of remembering the
chorus and forgetting the verse. Grant Clarke, who wrote the words,
is also responsible for
"Second Hand Rose", among others. RG
