Thread Name: Lyr Add: 'Ruptured Cowboy' Traditional Bawdy Song
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Ruptured Cowboy' Traditional Bawdy Song
I didn't think this existed. I first heard a boy singing this lyric at Boy Scout Camp in upstate New York, during WWII, when I was 12—14. It was a parody on a popular song of the time "El Rancho Grande." We all roared with laughter at hearing it, especially when the boy hollered "Syph, too!" Today for some reason, I thought of that song and took a chance and googled it, never expecting to find it because I thought that kid had made it up on the spot. But to my great surprise and delight, there it was!
