Ragtime Cowboy Joe

Date: 2023-03-04

Ragtime Cowboy, by Grant Clarke, Lewis F. Muir, and Maurice Abrahams, was a major hit in 1912 and lives on as a staple of the ukulele sing-along crowd AND as the fight song of the University of Wyoming! 

This tune literally sings the praises of that iconic western character, the singing cowboy, and Roy Rogers and his horse Trigger are featured throughout this video. The clip of the man dancing ‘the bullet dance’ comes from the 1902 silent movie, The Great Train Robbery.
