A fourth title- "Cow Boy Carol," in Siringo. "By Wm. Thompson and C. C. Clark, Two Cow Boys."

This one essentially is the McCandless song, some of the lines in different order, and partly rewritten, grammar not the best.
A last verse is added:

As great things as these, we can't expect to make,
But will vote for Frisco, the banner town of this state.
The county seat of Morton, we will help to make it.
If any place else gets it, we'll go over and take it.

Chas. A. Siringo, 1919, "The Song Companion of a Lone Star CowBoy," pp. 14-15.
