IA has a version closest to style I was taught this song. Not quite the way it was sung when I was a kid. We would put more fake feeling into it, make it less of a joke-sounding; because irony. It starts at 2:00: Whiskey, Rye Whiskey; 1. The Tenderfoot Blood on the Saddle: Tony Kraber (Whiskey, Rye Whiskey is worth a listen too.)
A more popular version on youtube: Blood On The Saddle · Tex Ritter
Digi trad lyrics & score:
There was blood on the saddle, blood all around
And a great big puddle of blood on the ground
The cowboy lay in it, all covered with gore
He'll never ride tall in the saddle no more
Oh pity the cowboy, all bloody and dead
A bronco fell on him and mashed in his head
