Here's a really unusual one, a cowboy version of a lumberjack song

THE COWBOY'S FLAT RIVER GIRL (E.C. Beck "Lore of the Lumber Camps" , collected from Stanley Wheaton, Fort Stockton, TX)

1. I'm a bold cowboy, from Salt Creek I came.
While virtue's departed, alas I'm profane.
In the cold ports of Cuba I'm very well known
As a roving young cowboy, and Beeville's my home.

2. I'll tell you my troubles without further delay,
How a pretty young lassie my heart stole away;
She was a farmer's daughter on the Salt Creek side,
An I always intended to make her my bride.

3. I worked for Wood and Kennendent and earned quite a stake;
I stood fast and steady and ne'er played or drank.
I sent Emma my wages the same to keep safe
And begrudged her nothing that I had on earth

4. One bright Sabbath morning a letter I received.
She said from her promise she had long been relieved.
And had married another she long had delayed,
And the next time I saw her she would ne'er be a maid.

5. It's down on Salt Creek for me there's no rest:
I'll saddle Old Joe, and I'll pull further west;
I'll go through Muskogee some good times to find
And leave my old sweetheart with another behind.

6. Come all ye bold cowboys, to you I'll be true:
Don't depend on a woman, 'cause you're beat if you do.
But if you ever see one with a dark auburn curl,
Remember Jim Oxford and the Salt Creek girl.

Muskegon >> Muskogee, OK which is a long way north of Beeville,TX; not west.
Emma, farmer's daughter with auburn hair, the Salt River girl
"alas I'm profane" (and what cowboy isn't?)
Beeville is in south Texas.
Jack Haggarty is now Jim Oxford
Beck adds in his comments: "Whether some lumberjack began punching Texas cattle or some vaquero started riding Michigan logs cannot be stated with certainty, but the chances are that another damn Yankee went South."
