"I've Got No Use for the Women" doesn't appear in Lomax 1910 or 1916. If it existed then - which I doubt - John Lomax evidently didn't find it.

The earliest appearance seems to be Travis Hale's 1927 commercial recording found by Q. It hurts to say so, but a 1927 appearance on wax would have given plenty of time for Duncan Emrich's youthful informant to have learned it in 1928 "through the oral tradition."

The song was copyrighted in 1930 by a "rodeo trio," according to Joe Bob Tinsley.
