    My grandmother (born in 1894) used to sing this song to me when I was a young kid in the mid 70's. This was the music of her youth.

    My father was stationed in Hawaii before going to the Pacific WWII theater. He picked up the uke and when he returned, he used to play Rag Time Cowboy Joe. Thank you for posting this

      Hi, My grandfather was in Hawaii and Pacific Theater, USS Monterey CVL-26
      He also played this song on ukulele, guitar and piano. My father came across your post while looking up this son for my son to play on the piano. We have a photo of my grandfather and some other sailors with their ukuleles. Thanks for your post.

    My Dad loved singing this song especially to my daughter Sam. Before he died he made sure we had a written copy of the score. Thanks so much.

    Horse is "syncopated gaited" back in 1912. Love that! When people really rode long hours, then smooth gaited horses were the norm. When roads came into play with people taking carriages, then trotting horses took over. Breeding trotters to non-trotters usually ends up with more trotting horses. Now most folks don't even realize there are smooth gaited horses that don't bounce you out of the saddle and don't require "posting". :-)

      besides the fact that, "syncopated gaited" is just a plain cool piece of word-smithing!

      My grandfather bred, trained and raced trotters at Ohio State fairs (probably other places too). Unfortunately he died about 20 years before I was born so I only know what mom thot to talk about as I was growing up.

      Syncopated-gaited in 1912 is an insane bar

    Here’s a note for history buffs. This came out around the time (I think a little after if I’m correct) when the titanic sank in 1912. Also, the song sings of Arizona. Arizona gained statehood that year.

    My pops sang this to me as a little boy and bounced me on his knee, then he started to do it to my nieces and it's so cute

    106 years of this song that has been listened to by the whole wide world. And what can I say more lyrics is better than just the choruses.

    Thank you for sharing this. I am reading Max Hasting's history '1914' and I read about one old soldier's re.collection of Tommie's singing this as a way of releasing tension before a battle. The soldier stated that he never heard the tune ever after without feeling emotional. It's such a jolly tune that one can only wonder what horrors he and his comrades experienced in order to be left with such an association. This must be the version they knew I suppose.

    The Chipmunks version came into my head out of nowhere tonight and so I looked it up to hear the original... wonderful that it's on here! I love these old tunes!

    The woman on the cover, btw is Elizabeth M. Murray, a popular performer in musical comedy. Her schtick was dialect humor. I'm thinking this song must have been in her repertory.

    Thank you very much for sharing Bruce! Was very helpful for a class I'm taking on early American popular music. Its a catchy tune!

  • @tiga4180
    @tiga4180 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for sharing. Even early versions of this song are easy for the collector to find, so its wonderful to hear what could well be the first recorded version. Nice change to that its American, over here the records we find (whilst still enjoyable) are often an English interpretation of Ragtime.

    Out of nowhere my brain got a song stuck in my head as : Rhinestone Cowboy Bob. lol After 3 days I heard Ragtime Cowboy Bob and found this.It is definitely the song. Amazing that my tiny girl self remembered this and more I wonder why my brain pulled this up this week! Great video and thank you!

    When I was very young (6 or 7)my aunt and I were shopping on Main St in Milford, MA. There was a record store, anyone could go in, pay the fee and record anytjing you desired. My aunt convinced me to sing "Ragtime Cowboy Joe". They cut the record right there and you walked out with it. That was my first and omly recording. Have to call my aunt (she's 90 now) and ask her what happened to that record.

      I live in Massachusetts too and my dad took us too I think Revere beach and recorded a record the same way. Wish I had that old thing now.

    There was a guy that played western swing and songs of that genre from the old radio days. It was a NYC radio station something like 'Cowboy Joe's Radio Ranch' or close to that (mid to late 70's). This was his sign on/off signature song. Not quite this version though but from radio years.

    Sweet. My G-Ma used to do the same I sort of remember..but I definitely remember my Mom singing to sleep w/ Ragtime Cowboy Joe and "Home on the Range". Kinda weird as our family grew up in the quite urban surroundings of Detroit....Probably why these songs resonate with me so much 45 years later, and I'm sure My G-Ma would flip in here grave at the rendition of my old Punk bands (The Blanks) version of this song. I haven't heard this song in so many years,,,except in my dreams.

    The horn is oak. I wonder how this affects sound relative to metal ones.
