Thread Name: Lyr Add: The Cowboy (2) (from Margaret Larkin)
Subject: RE: Add Lyr. The Cowboy (2)
"The Cowboy" was published by John A. Lomax in "Cowboy Songs, 1910, pp. 96-99, with music ('by The Kid').
The "Dreary Black Hills" was published in the same volume by Lomax, pp. 177-182, with entirely different music.
As often with Lomax songs, no indication of where they came from is given. He republished "Dreary Black Hills" in "American Ballads and Folk Songs," but not "The Cowboy."
