"Cowboys really did sing cowboy songs to the cattle at night. Singing songs like 'Old Dan Tucker,' 'Nearer My God To Thee, 'In the Sweet By and By' or The Texas Lullaby' soothed jittery cows, which helped reduce the likelihood of stampede. Thunder and lightning were the most common cause of stampede."

we still sing 'in the sweet by and by'. still helps keep away the stampede.

thanks.
