"Cool Water"
"Riders in the Sky"
"Tumbling Tumbleweeds"
"Along the Navajo Trail"

These are all songs I learned as a kid (we had them on 78's) and I still love them.

Also -- this is a song sung by Roy Rogers, that I loved and haven't been able to find, but I sure can't say it is a great western song -- "My Chickashay Gal":

"Left my Gal in Chickashay,
Left that gal and went away;
There's a slick chick a-waitin' in my Chickashay home,
And from my Chickashay gal I'm gonna never more roam."
:-)

Another favorite was Gene Autry singing "Sioux City Sue."

... Just decided to look up the spelling of Chickashay and I learned that "My Chickashay Gal" was the title of a movie in 1945. We didn't see that one. We did see "The Strawberry Roan" starring Gene Autry. Also learned that "My Chickashay Girl" is on a CD titled "Historic Country & Western: 50 Nostalgic Memories From a Bygone Era."

And, I was reminded of another favorite: Dale Evans singing "Silver on the Sage." We had that record too.
