Out in Arizona
where the bad men are,
And the only friend to guide you
is an evening star.
The roughest toughest man by far,
Is ragtime Cowboy Joe.
Got his nickname
singing to his cows and sheep,
Every night they say
he sings his herd to sleep,
In a voice so rich and deep
Crooning soft and low.

He always sings
raggy music to the cattle as he swings,
Back and forward in a saddle on a horse,
that is syncopated, gaited,
And there's such a
funny metre,
to the roar of his repeater.
How they run
when they hear the fellow's gun,
Because the Western folks all know,
He's a high Faluting,
scooting, shooting, son of a gun
from Arizona, Ragtime Cowboy Joe.

He always sings
raggy music to the cattle as he swings,
Back and forward in a saddle on a horse,
that is syncopated, gaited,
And there's such a
funny metre,
to the roar of his repeater.
How they run
when they hear the fellow's gun,
Because the Western folks all know,
He's a high Faluting,
scooting, shooting, son of a gun
from Arizona, Ragtime Cowboy Joe.

Dressed up ev'ry Sunday
in his Sunday clothes,
He beats it for the village
where he always goes,
And ev'ry girl in town is Joe's,
'Cause he's a ragtime bear.
When he starts spieling
on the dancehall floor,
No one but a lunatic
would start a war.
Wise men know his forty four
Makes men dance for fair.

He always sings
raggy music to the cattle as he swings,
Back and forward in a saddle on a horse,
that is syncopated, gaited,
And there's such a
funny metre,
to the roar of his repeater.
How they run
when they hear the fellow's gun,
Because the Western folks all know,
He's a high Faluting,
scooting, shooting, son of a gun
from Arizona, Ragtime Cowboy Joe.

He always sings
raggy music to the cattle as he swings,
Back and forward in a saddle on a horse,
that is syncopated, gaited,
And there's such a
funny metre,
to the roar of his repeater.
How they run
when they hear the fellow's gun,
Because the Western folks all know,
He's a high Faluting,
scooting, shooting, son of a gun
from Arizona, Ragtime Cowboy Joe.
