18 Jul 06 - 08:31 AM (#1786307) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lonesome Cowboy Bert From: Snuffy I remember Ragtime Cowboy Joe from my 1950s childhood in England, but as it first appeared in 1912 it's old enough to be in the DT as folk! Might have been Jo Stafford's recording, but I thought I remembered a man singing it |
