'Ragtime Cowboy Joe', originally composed by Lewis F. Muir, Maurice Abrahams- lyrics written by Grant Clarke (1912).
This song has entered the Public Domain.
The muzak heard during the Call-to-Action is a mash-up of Bluegrass banjo licks inspired by various derivative versions of Eck Robertson's fiddle tune 'Sally Gooden' (1922).
The chordie tune heard after the coin dropped into the slot was inspired by Pete Wernick's instruction on stock progressions in his book 'Bluegrass Banjo', which you can acquire here:
