Powder River Jack and Katie Lee recorded this in the '30s. Jack was only a stage cowboy given to phony, colorful yarns starring himself, but his cowboy song recordings are among the liveliest and most enjoyable of the period.

I believe this song has been reissued on one of Shanachie's two "When I was a Cowboy" CDs. These are essential listening for fans of the genre; the performances are all from the '20s and '30s.
