"Cowboy Song" is a song by hard rock band Thin Lizzy that originally appeared on their 1976 album Jailbreak. Released as a single in an edited version, it reached No. 77 on the US charts, but at the time did not gain as much attention as two of their most popular songs on the same album, "The Boys Are Back in Town" and "Jailbreak".
The earliest written version of the song was published in John Lomax's Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads in 1910. It would first be recorded by Carl T. Sprague in 1926, and was released on a 10" single through Victor Records. [9] The following year, the melody and lyrics were collected and published in Carl Sandburg's American Songbag.

The B-side, "The Cowboy Song", was designed to mock people buying the record (the track's only sensical rhythm is a bassline played over nonsensical yelling), much to the dismay of drummer Jim Walker. [5] NME named it the 242nd greatest song of all time in 2014. [6]
