"The Cattle Call" is a song written and recorded in 1934 by American songwriter and musician Tex Owens.[4] The melody was adapted from Bruno Rudzinksi's 1928 recording "Pawel Walc".[5] It later became a signature song for Eddy Arnold. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.[6]
Owens wrote the song in Kansas City while watching the snow fall. "Watching the snow, my sympathy went out to cattle everywhere, and I just wished I could call them all around me and break some corn over a wagon wheel and feed them. That's when the words 'cattle call' came to my mind. I picked up my guitar, and in thirty minutes I had wrote the music and four verses to the song," he said.[7] His August 28, 1934 recording was among the first for the newly formed Decca Record Company.[3] He recorded it again in 1936.
