Here's a couple of jazzier, hep-cat, cowboy songs... Cow Cow Boogie Out on the plains down near Santa Fe I met a cowboy ridin' the range one day And as he jogged along I heard him singin' The most peculiar cowboy song It was a ditty, he learned in the city Comma ti yi yi yeah Comma ti yippity yi yeah Now get along, get hip little doggies Get along, better be on your way Get along, get hip little doggies He trucked 'em on down that old fairway Singin' his Cow Cow Boogie in the strangest way Comma ti yi yi yeah Comma ti yippity yi yeah (Chorus) Now singin' his cowboy songs He's just too much He's got a knocked out western accent with a dixie touch He was raised on local ways He's what you call a swingin' half breed Singin' his Cow Cow Booogie in the strangest way Comma ti yi yi yeah Comma ti yippity yi yeah (Repeat Chorus)

Here's the other one...
I'm An Old Cowhand (From The Rio Grande)
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande But my legs ain't bowed, and my cheeks ain't tan Well I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how And I sure ain't fixin' to startin now Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande And I learned to ride before I learned to stand Well I'm a ridin fool who is up to date I know every trail in the Lone Star State 'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8 Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
Look out, I'm gonna show y'all how to ride now Here we go
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande And I come to town just to hear the band I know all the songs that the cowboys know 'Bout the big corral where the dogies go 'Cause I learned them all on the radio Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
Now my story's almost done, so listen up! You ain't got much longer now
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande Where the west is wild round the borderland Where the buffalo roam around the zoo And the indian make you a rug or two And the old Bar-X is the Bar-be-cue Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
I'm just an old cowhand...

Promontory Rider
Promontory Rider, Territory Ranger. Promontory Rider, whats makes you ride so high? Put a loving star back in an empty sky. Once the wind was warm and sweet, the ladies in lace. Up there on the prominence the tears just freeze your face. From a statutory picture, passport out of hell. Left here by a stranger, seem to wish as well. Sighed, Promontory Rider, Territory Ranger.
Asked me, "Can you thread a needle? Can you shoot the moon?" Walk the silver screen, be a judgement at high noon? Like any Promontory Rider, Territory Ranger, step up.
Ride on, ride on, ride Ride upon the high ground, ride upon the low. Promontory Rider what makes you ride so slow? Pick me out with harden wings and fill my head with crowds. I been crawlin' in this scene, but now I'm rollin' down.
Promontory Rider, Territory Ranger. Promontory Rider used to ride so high. I don't know these days just seem to ride on by. Once the wind was warm and sweet, but this must be your place. Cause you don't change this chilly range, for any other place. Say, Promontory Rider, Territory Ranger.
Ride on, ride on, ride. Promontory Rider, whats makes you ride so high? Put a loving star back in an empty sky. Movin' on the high ground, movin' on the low. But Promontory Rider that was many years ago. Pick me out with harden wings and fill my head with crowds. I been crawlin' in this scene, but not I'm rollin' down. Promontory Rider, Territory Ranger.
Movin' on the high ground, movin' on the low ground. Promontory Rider step so high I know I oculd be right and I maybe wrong. But I'll think I'll miss you when your gone. ABC WXYZ can ask for cover, just don't see me

And entirely irrelevant to the thread.

This is the last cowboy song the end of a hundred year waltz Voices sound sad as they're singing along another piece of America's lost
He rides a feed lot and clerks in a market on weekends selling tobacco and beer His dreams of tomorrow surrounded by fences But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark And eyeball to eyeball Ol' Wyatt backed down He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down This is the last cowboy song...
Remington showed us how he looked on canvas And Louie L'Amore has told us his tale And Willie and Waylon and me sing about him And wish to God we could have ridden his trail
The Old Chisholm Trail is covered in concrete now And they truck 'em to market in fifty foot rigs They blow by his marker never slowing to read Like living and dying was all he did This is the last cowboy song... This is the last cowboy song...
This is the last cowboy song...
