"Zebra Dun" is a traditional American cowboy song dating from at least 1890. Jack Thorp said he collected it from Randolph Reynolds at Carrizzozo Flats in that year. The song tells of a stranger who happened into a cowboy camp at the head of the Cimarron River. When he asks to borrow a "fat saddle horse", the cowboys fix him up: Thorp published the song under the title "Educated Feller" in 1908. Two years later, John Lomax published a substantially longer version as "Zebra Dun" in Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads.
