Verse:

Out in Ar-i-zon-a where the bad men are, And the on-ly thing to guide you is an Eve-'ning star.
The rough-est, tough-est man by far is Rag-time Cow-boy Joe.

Got his name from sing-in' to the cows and sheep, Ev-'ry night, they say, he sings the herd to sleep,

In a bass so rich and deep, Croon-ing soft and low.

 

Chorus:

He al-ways sings rag-gy mu-sic to the cat-tle, As he swings back and for-ward in the sad-dle,
On a horse that is syn-co-pat-ed, gait-ed, And there's such a fun-ny me-ter to the roar of his re-peat-er!
How they run, When they hear that fel-low's gun, Because the West-ern folks all know,
He's a high-fa-lut-ing, scoot-ing, shoot-ing, Son-of-a-gun from Ar-i-zo-na Rag-time Cow-boy Joe.
