Ragtime Cowboy Joe

Fight Song

The familiar fight song of the Wyoming Cowboys is Ragtime Cowboy Joe, which is performed by the band as the football teams enter the field and following each score. The Cowboy players traditionally sing this following each Wyoming victory.

RAGTIME COWBOY JOE

"He always sings
Raggy music to the cattle
as he swings
back and forward in the saddle,
on a horse - a pretty good horse!
He's got a syncopated gaiter,
and you ought to hear the meter
to the roar of his repeater;
how they run - yes run! -
when they hear him 'a-comin',
cause the western folks all know,
he's a high-falootin', rootin, tootin',
son of a gun from ol' Wyoming,
Ragtime Cowboy
Talk about your Cowboy,
Ragtime Cowboy Joe.
