In history, the real cowboy was a simple farm worker on horseback. The work was dirty, tiring and not paid very well. Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night. When they were alone with the cows, they often sang beautiful and peaceful songs to keep the animals calm and overcome their own fear. They were not well-educated, so they sang about their daily life in very simple words. Country Western music became popular first among cowboys in the American west countryside.

The cowboy quickly received popularity. Historians say that this was because the cowboy appeared during a time of change in American life. The cowboy seemed free and more independent than other Americans.

At present, the life of real cowboys has changed greatly. There is no need for the modern cowboys to sleep on the ground. Modern cowboys are paid well and are found in almost every state of the United States. Most modern cowboys do not make much money from raising cattle (牛).

Many do it because they love the cowboy life.
