From: GUEST,BigDaddyCool

Could somebody please help me I.D. the name of a very old hillbilly country/folk song. The only lyrics that I know are, "Cavortin' prancin' son-of-a-gun..." and "I'm a cowboy from the western plains / I hate city streets and I hate city trains / Yodel-ayee-ayee-odelay-eeoooooooooooooooo." It's played on the radio during scene four of the Three Stooges short NUTTY BUT NICE, which was made in 1940, so I assume it dates from around that time.

Please help!!

It sounds like something from one of the musicals that were once popular in the USA.

The name of the song is "I'm a Cowboy from the Western Plain." I've been trying to find out who was singing it on the radio during that episode.

Thanks!
