As a practicing cowboy singer and poet (and boy do I need the practice -- ba-DUM-ching!) I've been singing several cowboy songs I'm getting ready to record:

The Border Affair (Spanish Is the Loving Tongue) from a poem by Badger Clark

Short Grass, by Ian Tyson

Windy Bill (a version I got from Tom Rush)

The Colorado Trail (trad.)

Tying Knots In the Devil's Tail, or The Sirey Petes

The Texas Rangers (trad.)

Tom Blasingame, also by Ian Tyson

And, as of this morning, Patanio, The Pride Of the Plains
