Ella Mae Morse, with Freddie Slack and His Orchestra, singing "Cow Cow Boogie" in this soundie from the 1940's.
Out on the plains down near Santa Fe
I met a cowboy ridin the range one day
And as he jogged along I heard him singin
The most peculiar cowboy song
It was a ditty, he learned in the city
Comma ti yi yi yea
Comma ti yippity yi yea
Now get along, get hip little doggies
Get along, better be on your way
Get along, get hip little doggies
He trucked em on down the old fairway
Singin his cow cow boogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yea
Comma ti yippity yi yea
(chorus)
Singin his cowboy song
He's just too much
He's got a knocked out western accent with a Harlem touch
He was raised on locoweed
He's what you call a swing half breed
Singin his cow cow booogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yea
Comma ti yippity yi yea
(repeat chorus)

@Kramnosnits she had a lazy eye, but boy, was she hot.

Check out the 1945 movie: "HOW DOOOO YOU DO!!!" (Part 1 at about the 12 minute mark. It's on You Tube), and you will see again why Ella Mae Morse was the most requested singer on Armed Forces Radio during WWII. When she was at a microphone she was in a place all her own. And she had the chops for acting too. It's a weird insider movie, but it's worth the time watching it just on her account.

Hey I spent real money buying Morse's Best-of album on CD on the strength of this. Go Youtube!

Such a great, mature voice for someone her age. This was a time when people expected you to be able to actually sing in order to call yourself a singer.
