Them Old Cowboy Songs

I did say it was campy, Sonja!
Thanks for your contribution, Monika. Not-so-old songs are welcome too.
Your'e right about Freud and horse-fronts LOL.

Here's my favorite contemporary cowgirl song, "Prairie in the Sky", by Mary McCaslin, from the 1970s. Maybe French horns aren't too "cowboy", but such a plaintive sound.

Thanks for starting this very interesting thread, friend! I'm enjoying listening to all the music!
That last stanza to Big Rock Candy Mountain is kind of heartbreaking. When I was a child, I used to sing Jingle Jangle Jingle with different words. I am glad to know "the salty words" to it!!
Front-Ranger:
Was that what Dylan was referring to when he sang, "In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you."

Good question, Lee. I looked it up--wiki states that Dylan lifted those lyrics from hipster Lord Buckley. Lord knows where he got them from!
