AboutFred Goodwin Expertise My particular expertise is Cowboys history from 1960-1988 (the Landry era); I'm also a Cowboys book fanatic (I have almost 200 different Cowboys-related titles), and I also collect Cowboys football cards (but stopped in 93). But I am not an expert in the value of cards or collectibles – so please don't ask.
Before you ask: "So-and-so" almost certainly DID NOT PLAY for the Cowboys -- trust me! Before you ask me, ask the guy for proof!
Finally, I DO NOT ANSWER “PRIVATE” QUESTIONS! My work requires research, so the results must be made public.
Experience I had a Cowboys webpage recognized around the Internet as the authoritative list of Cowboys links, and I have a Cowboys book collection second to none (200 titles). In addition to my book collection, I have every Cowboys media guide back to 1960, which makes researching questions much easier.
Expert: Fred Goodwin Date: 11/29/2006 Subject: Song title and artist
Question What was the title of the song with the lyrics "Well, just give me a chance to watch Tony D dance
And let me watch Harvey Martin a while
I love to watch Ed Jones break the other team's bones
It even makes old Tom Landry smile
And number 41, the ladies love his buns
And Raphael kicks me outta my chair ?
Answer Julie:
Sorry, although this is a repeat question, you weren't the one who first asked it, so it's not a repeat as far as you are concerned!
Here's my earlier answer:
=====================
I don't have the song and I don't think I've heard it, but a google search led to a post by a guy named Jerry Jungmann who says the name of the song is "Sunday Cowboy":

I have a "collectable", somewhere in the confines of a closet, that I doubt any of you guys remember - a 45 entitled "Sunday Cowboy". It's a country song from circa 1980. The lyrics include lines like "I like to see Ed Jones break the other teams bones"... "just give me a chance to see Tony D. dance"... "when Randy White puts out Ron Jaworski's lights"... "when Everson Walls gets his hands on the ball"... "it even makes ole Tom Landry smile". There are references to other players including Danny White and Rafael Septien, but I only recall the above fragmented lyrics. The culminating verse, however, is "the Super Bowl ain't the Super Bowl, if the Dallas Cowboys aren't there.
Ah, those were the days - when music was music - none of that sissy Wham stuff ;-)

Unfortunately, Jerry has passed and he didn't list the artist or the label. I'm afraid that's all I could find about this song.
