I don't know, Dicho, but here are the ones I have:


LAVENDER COWBOY

He was only a lavender cowboy
The hairs on his chest were two
But he wished to follow the heroes
And fight like the he-men do

But he was inwardly troubled
By a dream that gave him no rest
That he'd go with heroes in action
With only two hairs on his chest

First he tried many a hair tonic
Twar rubbed on him each night
But still when he looked in the mirror
Those two hairs were ever in sight

But with a spirit undaunted
He wandered out to fight
Just like an old time knight errant
To win combat for the right

He battled for Red Nellie's honor
And cleaned out a holdup's nest
He died with his six guns a smoking
With only two hairs on his chest.


"The title alone suggests a spoof on the tough hombres that myth insists the cowboys were. This, plus the dream symbolism suggests that it is a late comer among cowboy songs." Melody collector--Dean Emeritus John Donald Robb of the University of New Mexico; text from Bluebird B-8229A Vernon Dalhart and His Big Cypress Boys.

Tune to follow......I have to refresh the "abc brain cells".
