[Transcriber's notes:
-Page vii: The word following "view of what Owen" was unclear,
and may not be the "Writes" which has been chosen.
-(Mus. Not.) following a title means that the original book contains
musical notation for that song.]

COWBOY SONGS

AND OTHER FRONTIER BALLADS

What keeps the herd from running,
Stampeding far and wide?
The cowboy's long, low whistle,
And singing by their side.
