[NC] He always [F] sings, raggy music to the cattle,
As he [G7] swings, back and forward in the saddle,
On a [C7] horse, that is syncopated, gaited,
And there’s [F] such a funny [Dm] meter
to the [G7] roar of his re[C7]peater.
How they [F] run, when they hear that fellow’s gun,
Because the [G7] Western folks all know,
He’s a [Dm] high - falutin’, [G7] scootin‘, shootin’
[Dm] Son-of a-gun from [G7] Arizona,
[C7] Ragtime Cowboy [F] Joe.
{c: }
[F] Out in Ari[Dm]zona where the [F] bad men [Dm] are,
And the [F] only friend to [Dm] guide you is an [G7] ev - nin’ star,
The [F] roughest [Dm] toughest [F] man by [Dm] far,
is [G7] Ragtime [C7] Cowboy [F] Joe.
[A7] Got his name from singin’ to the cows and sheep
[D7] Ev ‘ry night they say he sings the herd to sleep,
[F] In a [Dm] basso [F] rich and [Dm] deep, [C7] crooning soft and low.
{c: }
[F] Dressed up ev’ ry [Dm] Sunday in his [F] Sunday [Dm] clothes,
He [F] beats it for the [Dm] village where he [G7] always goes,
And [F] ev ‘ry [Dm] girl in [F] town is [Dm] Joe’s,
‘cause [G7] he’s a [C7] ragtime [F] bear.
{c: }
[A7] When he starts a spieling on the dance hall floor,
[D7] No one but a lunatic would start a war,
[F] Wise men [Dm] know his [F] forty [Dm] four,
[C7] makes men dance for fair.

[NC] He always [F] sings, raggy music to the cattle,
As he [G7] swings, back and forward in the saddle,
On a [C7] horse, that is syncopated, gaited,
And there’s [F] such a funny [Dm] meter
to the [G7] roar of his re[C7]peater.
How they [F] run, when they hear that fellow’s gun,
