An afternoon like this it was in tough old Cherokee,
An outlaw come a-hornin' in an' ask who I might be.
He spun around his finger joint a six-gun primed with lead,
He yelled, "By Judas, answer quick!" And this is what I said.
"My Uncle Jess was Jesse James, my ma was Chuck-taw-said.
BlackJack Catch-um was my paw, Sam Bass my cradle maid.
"They fed me first on she-wolf's milk, and while my teeth was cuttin'
My rattle was a diamond-back with twenty-seven button.
"I learned to bark before I talked, before I talked, to swear.
I always use tarantulas to comb my shinin' hair.
"Where ere I make my bed at night, the grass it fades and dies,
And when I'm ridin' in the rain the fearful lightnin' skies"

के बारे मेंCowboy boasting songs are so mimerous and varied that they seem symptomatic. Even as humor ( which is born of the ironical disparity between utterance and reality) they evoke the unequal battle between man and raw nature. Still, laughter and defiance=awareness, that is, of the existential facts-are far better than withdrawal into a world of comfortable fantasy. In these songs there is more artistry than meets the ear. Rich internal rhymes and highly imaginative imagery suggest a good deal of poetic sophistication. (Melody A: Sterling Sherwin and Harry A.
