  • "Ragtime Cowboy Joe" is a popular song lyrics by Grant Clarke, music by Lewis F. Muir and Maurice Abrahams. © 1912, F.A. Mills, 122 W. 36th St, New York. 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 was composed in Brooklyn, NY by the song writing team that also wrote Second Hand Rose. The song was written after an appearance by Maurice Abrahams' nephew, Joe Abrahams who appeared at Maurice Abrahams' home wearing a cowboy outfit. Maurice Abrahams was so captivated by the appearance of his nephew dressed up as a cowboy that the elder Abrahams was influenced in writing Ragtime Cowboy Joe in 1912. It was a number-one hit song for singer Bob Roberts in 1912. Trolley Car conductor Harry Cohn had a sideline as a music promoter and took Ragtime Cowboy Joe and promoted it to hit status as he willingly told anyone who would listen for 40 years. Over the years, it has been performed by a diverse group of artists, ranging from Eddy Howard to The Chipmunks. "Ragtime Cowboy Joe" was also the radio show theme song for New York City's long running, award-winning public radio show, Cowboy Joe's Radio Ranch (1976–1988), hosted by Paul Aaron, New York's Cowboy Joe. During one of his radio shows Paul Aaron had the elder Joe Abrahams (the original Cowboy Joe) as a special guest. Paul Aaron played many versions of his favorite song dating back to one sung by Bob Roberts from a 1919 acoustic RCA Victor 78 rpm record. He also played many "live" versions recorded during the University of Wyoming football and basketball games. A recent version of the song appears on Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks 2009 album "Tangled Tales"
