I had fun with this and Brian did a wonderful job whistling!

lyrics

He's a high-falutin' rootin' tootin' son-of-a-gun from Arizona,
Ragtime Cowboy Joe!

from BearNAKED, released December 12, 1998
The 1912 copyright version published by F.A. Mills credits Lewis F. Muir and Maurice Abrahams as composers and Grant Clarke as the lyricist. The song writing team also wrote Second Hand Rose. The song was composed in Brooklyn, New York after an appearance at Maurice Abrahams' home by his nephew, Joe Abrahams, wearing a cowboy outfit. Maurice Abrahams was so captivated by the appearance of his nephew dressed up as a cowboy that he was inspired to write Ragtime Cowboy Joe in 1912. It was a number-one hit song for singer Bob Roberts in 1912.
