Wailing Cowboys
II was former Representative

that every time he went TO a show
or turned on the radio ne heard
some guy h~ollering something
about the lone prairie And he
added: "Cowpunchers don't sing
much. let alone hang around a fire
and yell in n another's faces
over a guitar"
Only a few cowboy songs have
gotten away from the wailing note.
We recall Saddle Your Blues to a
Wild Mustang" by George Whiting,
which had a lit quite in keeping
with the tang Of the title. Johnny
Mercer once wrote a number sat

Maybe there are too many claim
ing credit.
It's becoming more and more
difficult TO recall that there was
something in America called stein
songs. The Maine Stein Song, a
craze some years back. was the
last flare-up of this style of vocal

flourishing as songs about rivers
