Is there a cowboy song out there that is not depressing?

Can anyone tell me where I can get this song ? I've only seen it on a 4 CD set called ..."UNDER WESTERN SKIES" and the cheapest one I found was $75.00 ( used)and I can't afford that !

Thanks,

my Dad sang this all the time when I was little (late 50's) and we were rideing somewhere in our car, think he sang a older, slower version tho, but anything Marty sings is wonderful

It is amazing to me that this song is still sung around the cowboy gatherings and that in the past year I received at least three recent recordings of it. The song is 125 year and more old and still being sung and recorded. What a legacy.

This song is based on the poem "After the Roundup" written by Miles City, Montana cowboy D. J. O'Malley and published in the the Miles City newspaper in 1888. It entered oral traditon as a popular recitation and was set to music several times earlier that the Carl Sprague version which came out in 1925. There are several additional verses. Sprague's version was the first 78 record to sell in the large numbers it did. D J. O'Malley never received any roayalties from the poem/song.

By the way, check out Carl Sprague. I think he's amazing. I actually found out about him at the old Mormon Prison in Salt Lake. They were playing "Mormon Cowboy" over the loudspeakers in the old camp. I thought it was hilarious, so I went home and looked for it, then fell in love.

Carl Sprague (The Original Singing Cowboy) recorded this song in 1925. He may have written it, seeing as he wrote many of the songs he recorded, but more than likely it's just an old campfire cowboy song.

Marty Robbins did not write these lyrics

[CptSato]

In addition to the song that Marty Robbins composed lyric writing of his lifetime, itself In the singing of a lot of songs, it knew once more.

I feel it is the order to feel which is the proof of the Great Singer song writer really who represents the 20th century and is. Thank you and appreciate for nice posting. CptSato
