OME interesting notes on pioneer Nebraska terms are given in Lyrics of the Lariat, written by N. K. Griggs, a resident of Beatrice, Nebraska, from the 'sixties through the 'nineties.' A copy of his little book, published in 1893 by Fleming H. Revell of Chicago, recently came into my possession. Cowboy, the first lyric in the collection, celebrates a dying cowboy or waddy. The author evidently had the familiar Dying Cowboy of Western tradition in mind, for his stanzas can be sung to the ballad tune as I know it
