PHJim Genuine Cowboy Songs (35) RE: Genuine Cowboy Songs 09 May 15


Merrick Jarrett's Riverside LP, RLP-12-631, THE OLD CHISHOLM TRAIL AND OTHER TRADITIONAL SONGS OF THE OLD WEST, vcl/gtr, rec. by Kenneth Goldstein in Toronto, May 1956. The song list was as follows:

The Old Chisholm Trail
When the Work's All Done This Fall
A Cowboy's Dream
The Railroad Corral
The Glory Trail (High-Chin Bob)
The Poor Lonesome Cowboy
The Cowboys' Dance Song
Cowboy Jack

The Gal I Left Behind Me
Roy Bean
Little Joe the Wrangler
The Lone Star Trail
The Strawberry Roan
The Arizona Boys and Girls
Utah Carroll
The Cowboy (“All day on the prairie…”)

At one living room session, a few of us were passing songs around and I sang a Gene Autry song, I'm A Cowpoke Pokin' Along. Merrick said, "Now Jim, you don't really think that's a true cowboy song do you?"
