My First Book of
COWBOY SONGS

21 Favorite Songs in Easy Piano Arrangements by

Dolly M. Moon

Parents and teachers know how trying a child’s early piano practice sessions can be. But those first exercises don’t have to be tedious and boring. The 21 traditional cowboy songs in this book, perennial favorites with adults, are just as sure to appeal to children. As eager young pianists play them over and over for their catchy melodies, their playing skills will improve effortlessly. They’ll practice not because they have to, but because they want to.

Veteran music educator Dolly Moon has selected these 21 lively songs — unavail- able together in any other beginner’s piano book — and arranged them for easy playing by little hands. They include:

Goodbye, Ol’ Paint
Ev’ry Night When the Sun Goes In
Home on the Range
Red River Valley
My Darling Clementine (four hands)
She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain
Sweet Betsy from Pike
The Boll Weevil
On Top of Old Smoky
Strawberry Roan
Nellie Bly (four hands)
My Home’s in Montana
The Lone Prairie
Shenandoah
The Rainbow Cradle
Nebraska Boys
The Cowboy
Here, Rattler, Here (four hands)
The Streets of Laredo
Down in the Valley
I’m Going to Leave Old Texas

To evoke the atmosphere of the old West, the music has been liberally illustrated with classic drawings by Frederic Remington. This is a volume that children will turn to again and again to entertain their parents and friends.
