Sing Along Cowboy! is a collection of cowboy songs with a foreword by Rob Quist-Montana's famed singer, instrumentalist, and songwriter. The songs extend back to the heyday of the North American cattle drives. These are great singable songs meant to be enjoyed anywhere-in a living room, around a camp fire, or at a good old-fashioned sing-along. All that's required is a voice, guitar, and souls wanting to connect with their comrades over a song. Each song comes complete with melody, lyrics, and guitar chords. Some songs are classic gems, such as "Across the Wide Missouri," (a.k.a. "Shenandoah"), which tells the story of a man who falls in love with an indigenous chief's daughter, but the river and his work take him away from her. Also included is "Old Chisholm Trail," which tells of the trials of a cowboy driving cattle from Texas to the Kansas railheads. "Colorado Trail," is a beautiful song with the mournful lyrics "weep all ye little rains, wail winds, wail, all along, along, along, the Colorado Trail." This volume contains 56 of such wonderful songs and a brief guide to singing the cowboy way. Hinrichsen explains the three principles of singing: sing as you speak, relax completely, and know you are singing to. Hinrichsen writes that "authentic cowboy singing is possible for anyone; all that's required is a love for the songs and persistence. Live with and sing these songs for years to discover the truth and beauty in these miniature Shakespearean dramas, and the singing itself will grow true and beautiful. Regardless of your country of origin or background, authentic American cowboy singing is within your grasp too. Sing out!" Included for each song is an index to the first lines of text and a list of alternative titles. Because early cowboys, known as vaqueros, spoke and sang in Spanish, also included are the Mexican folksongs "Cielito Lindo" and "El Abandonado.," and others. Songs included in this volume are: "El Abandonado," "Across the Wide Missouri," "The Big Corral," "Billy The Kid," "Blood on the Saddle," "Buffalo Gals," "The Buffalo Hunters," "Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie," "Chopo," "Cielito Lindo," "Cindy," "The Colorado Trail," "Corrido de Kiansis I," "Corrido de Kiansis II," "Cowboy Jack," "Cowboy Lullaby," "The Cowboy," "The Cowboy's Lament," "La Cucaracha," "The Days of '49," "Down in the Valley," "The Dreary, Dreary Life," "The Dying Ranger," "Git Along, Little Dogies," "Goodbye, Old Paint," "Ho! Westward Ho!," "Home on the Range," "I Ride an Old Paint," "Jack o'Diamonds," "Jesse James," "Little Joe, the Wrangler," "Lo Que Digo," "The Lover's Lament," "Las Mañanitas," "My Love Is a Rider," "Night-Herding Song," "The Old Chisolm Trail," "Old Dan Tucker," "Old Texas," "Poor Lonesome Cowboy," "The Railroad Corral," "Red River Valley," "Sam Bass," "Sweet Betsy from Pike," "The Tenderfoot," "Tenting on the Old Campground," "The Texas Rangers," "El Toro Moro," "The Trail to Mexico," "The Wabash Cannonball," "The Wells and Fargo Line," "When the Curtains of Night Are Pinned Back," "When the Work's All Done This Fall," "The Yellow Rose of Texas," "Yipeetyee I'm off to Truckee," "The Zebra Dun." The song "Yippeetyee I'm off to Truckee," penned by the author, tells the story of a man who sets off to Truckee, California to marry his sweetheart, but is overcome by a blizzard in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Rich Hinrichsen is the singer in Tango Cowboys, a duo that specializes in cowboy songs and tangos. He has performed cowboy songs at several festivals including Northwest Folklife in Seattle, Bellingham Folk Festival, and the Subdued Stringband Jamboree. He also led the Bellingham Folk Festival workshop "Cowboy Camp Sing-a-long," which featured songs in this volume. His paternal grandmother, Bessie Virginia Camp, was the daughter of George & Myrtle Camp, who founded the Camp Cattle Ranch in Belt Park, Montana. The Camp Cattle Ranch, which recently turned 100 years old, is still active, with 98 cow-ca

More than two hundred songs, some with music, whose lyrics depict life in the old West. It is now four or five years since my attention was called to the collection of native American ballads from the Southwest, already begun by Professor Lomax. At that time, he seemed hardly to appreciate their full value and importance. To my colleague, Professor G.L. Kittredge, probably the most eminent authority on folk-song in America, this value and importance appeared as indubitable as it appeared to me. We heartily joined in encouraging the work, as a real contribution both to literature and to learning. The present volume is the first published result of these efforts. The value and importance of the work seems to me double. One phase of it is perhaps too highly special ever to be popular. Whoever has begun the inexhaustibly fascinating study of popular song and literature—of the nameless poetry which vigorously lives through the centuries—must be perplexed by the necessarily conjectural opinions concerning its origin and development held by various and disputing scholars. When songs were made in times and terms which for centuries have been not living facts but facts of remote history or tradition, it is impossible to be sure quite how they begun, and by quite what means they sifted through the centuries into the forms at last securely theirs, in the final rigidity of print. In this collection of American ballads, almost if not quite uniquely, it is possible to trace the precise manner in which songs and cycles of song—obviously analogous to those surviving from older and antique times—have come into being. The facts which are still available concerning the ballads of our own Southwest are such as should go far to prove, or to disprove, many of the theories advanced concerning the laws of literature as evinced in the ballads of the old world. Such learned matter as this, however, is not so surely within my province, who have made no technical study of literary origins, as is the other consideration which made me feel, from my first knowledge of these ballads, that they are beyond dispute valuable and important. In the ballads of the old world, it is not historical or philological considerations which most readers care for. It is the wonderful, robust vividness of their artless yet supremely true utterance; it is the natural vigor of their surgent, unsophisticated human rhythm. It is the sense, derived one can hardly explain how, that here is expression straight from the heart of humanity; that here is something like the sturdy root from which the finer, though not always more lovely, flowers of polite literature have sprung. At times when we yearn for polite grace, ballads may seem rude; at times when polite grace seems tedious, sophisticated, corrupt, or mendacious, their very rudeness refreshes us with a new sense of brimming life. To compare the songs collected by Professor Lomax with the immortalities of olden time is doubtless like comparing the literature of America with that of all Europe together. Neither he nor any of us would pretend these verses to be of supreme power and beauty. None the less, they seem to me, and to many who have had a glimpse of them, sufficiently powerful, and near enough beauty, to give us some such wholesome and enduring pleasure as comes from work of this kind proved and acknowledged to be masterly.

The importance of "Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads" can not be overstated. It created an understanding among academics and the public of the need to preserve all forms of early music. The John Lomax clan spent their lives doing just that.This edition of the book contains the lyrics of the 153 original songs and ballads, of which 18 include illustrations, rejuvenated, of the full musical score. Also included, and unique to this edition of the book, are 20 additional place-, time-, and subject-relevant iconic illustrations.In addition to the traditional table of contents of the songs and ballads, this edition of the book includes a linked listing of the musical scores, making them easier to find.President Theodore Roosevelt wrote the preface to the book and, recognizing the value of preserving early music of all styles, created the Folk Song Dept. within the Library of Congress. He appointed Lomax as its first director.Many songs so common today were first printed in this book, including "Home On the Range" and "Down In the Valley." Without Lomax's efforts, these and many, many other songs we have come to view as traditional would have been lost.* This is a pre-1923 historical reproduction that was curated for quality. Quality assurance was conducted in an attempt to remove imperfections introduced by the digitization process.* If typographic, spelling, or grammatical errors were present in the original, they may have been preserved.* As few changes as possible have been made to either illustrations or text in order to bring you an e-book that is as close to the original as possible.

The "Songs of the Cattle Trail and Cow Camp" does not purport to be an anthology of Western verse. As its title indicates, the contents of the book are limited to attempts, more or less poetic, in translating scenes connected with the life of a cowboy. The volume is in reality a by-product of my earlier collection, "Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads." In the former book I put together what seemed to me to be the best of the songs created and sung by the cowboys as they went about their work. In making the collection, the cowboys often sang or sent to me songs which I recognized as having already been in print; although the singer usually said that some other cowboy had sung the song to him and that he did not know where it had originated. For example, one night in New Mexico a cowboy sang to me, in typical cowboy music, Larry Chittenden's entire "Cowboys' Christmas Ball"; since that time the poem has often come to me in manuscript form as an original cowboy song. The changes — usually, it must be confessed, resulting in bettering the verse — which have occurred in oral transmission, are most interesting. Of one example, Charles Badger Clark's "High Chin Bob," I have printed, following Mr. Clark's poem, a cowboy version, which I submit to Mr. Clark and his admirers for their consideration. In making selections for this volume from a large mass of material that came into my ballad hopper while hunting cowboy songs as a Traveling Fellow from Harvard University, I have included the best of the verse given me directly by the cowboys; other selections have come in through repeated recommendation of these men; others are vagrant verses from Western newspapers; and still others have been lifted from collections of Western verse written by such men as Charles Badger Clark, Jr., and Herbert H. Knibbs. To these two authors, as well as others who have permitted me to make use of their work, the grateful thanks of the collector are extended. As will be seen, almost one-half of the selections have no assignable authorship. I am equally grateful to these unknown authors.
