Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: cowboys tying knot in Devil's
Sierry Petes (from Sierra Prieta Mts.), written by Gail Gardner, music by Billy Simon, has been discussed before and should come up in the Forum. Gail Gardner's original words are reproduced by Glenn Ohrlin in his book, "The Hell-Bound Train." Katie Lee indeed has the story, words and music in her "Ten Thousand Goddam Cattle."
The best recording (read my pers. op.) is by Harry Jackson on Folkways.
