Fife, Austin E and and Alta S. Cowboy and Western Songs: A Comprehensive Anthology. New York: Clarkson N. Potter, 1969.

Lingenfelter, Richard E., Richard A. Dwyer, and David Cohen. Songs of the American West: Berkeley and Los Angeles, University of California Press, 1968.

Larkin, Margaret. Singing Cowboy: A Book of Western Songs. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1931. (Reprinted by Oak Publications in 1963)

Lomax, John. Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads. New York: Sturgis and Walton, 1910. Revised and reprinted in 1911, 1916 (reprinted by MacMillan, 1918), revised again with Alan Lomax, MacMillan, 1938. 13th printing, 1961.

John A. Lomax also gave us Songs of the Cattle Trail and Cow Camp. New York: MacMillan, 1915. I've just added this one to my collection. Found it in a shop in New Preston, Connecticut.

And there are lots of others we could suggest, if you want 'em or need 'em.
