Who is Jo Stafford

He always sings
Raggy music to the cattle as he swings
Back and forward in the saddle
On a horse
That is syncopated-gaited
And there's such a funny meter
To the roar of his repeater.
How they run
When they hear that fellow's gun
Because the Western folks all know
He's a high-falutin', scootin', shootin',
Son of a gun from California,
Ragtime cowboy Joe.

How he sings,
Raggy music to his cattle
As he swings
Back and forward in his saddle
On his horse (A pretty good horse)
That is syncopated-gaited
And with such a funny meter
To the roar of his repeater.
How they run
When they hear the fellow's gun
Because the western folks all know:
He's a hifalootin', scootin', shootin'
Son-of-a-gun from California,
Ragtime Cowboy
(Talk about your cowboy)
Ragtime Cowboy Joe
