Jules Allen "The Singing Cowboy"
Victor 21470 - Recorded April 21, 1928, El Paso, Texas

Jules Verne Allen, billed as the first singing cowboy, was born in Waxahachie, Texas in 1883, he worked as a cowpuncher before finding fame on radio on WFAA in Dallas and WOAI and KTSA in San Antonio.

This classic Texas folk song, made famous by Blind Lemon Jefferson, was Allen's second recording (first record). I previously uploaded the same song by Newton Gaines (as Jim New) as "For Work I'm Too Lazy" on Timely Tunes C-1564.

Transferred from original 78 RPM record by R.C. Montgomery.
