Below is a traditional bawdy song titled: 'The Ruptured Cowboy' (recording)
Do you sing this song? If so when/where did you learn it?

~THE RUPTURED COWBOY (recording)
[Tune - El Rancho Grande(???)]I am the ruptured cowboy!
I got the gonorrhea!
Aye, yah!I got it from Maria!
She gave it to me free-ahh!
It hurts me when I pee-ahh!
Aye, yah, yah, yah!"

There currently seems to be no texts of this song in a Google web search. I have field collected this song twice and there is an anonymous recording of this in the LOC folksong archive from 1962.]
