Thread Name: Your favorite cowboy/western folk songs
Subject: RE: Your favorite cowboy/western folk songs
One I discovered this year was "Corn, Water and Wood", a Christmas song.
It is by Carol Elliot and has been sung by Riders in the Sky, Michael Martin Murphey, Bryndle, and others.

Also one called the Gift by Stephanie Davis. Another Christmas one.

There is a song called The Gift by Ian Tyson, too, about Charles M. Russell.

I also like to perform another Canadian song -- Cowboy Christmas by
Connie Kaldor and BIM.

And a poem from Austrailian whose name I forget...not Banjo Paterson.. When the Children Come Home..oh yes, Henry Lawson...

And another song by a Canadian...Small Victory, by Garnet Rogers...about a horse that he got at auction, and she was destined for the glue factory. She gave birth to a colt which was named Victory.
