Sippin' Cider Thru a Straw
I saw a boy, the cutest boy you ever did see
Sipping cider thru a straw. . .
He asked me if
I'd like to sip
Some cider thru a straw. . .
The straw did slip
And I kissed his lip
Sipping cider thru a straw.
Now I love a mother in law
And fifteen kids all call me Maw
From sipping cider thru a straw.
The moral of this story is--
To sip some cider thru a pail.

Cowboy Joe
Way down yonder, where the bad men are,
and the only thing to guide them is the evening star,
There's the roughest, toughest man by far,
He's the ragtime cowboy Joe.
He always sings as he swings in the
saddle on a horse, a pretty good horse
with a syncopated gait.
And there's such a funny meter to the roar of his repeater
As they ride and the Western folks all say,
He's a rootin, tootin' son of a gun
from Alabam, he's the ragtime cowboy Joe.
Talk about your cowboy. Ragtime cowboy Joe.
