Sounds like the rowels are the part of Western Spurs that jingle. But I didn't look it up. ***
"I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
As I go ridin' merrily along
And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single"
And that song ain't so very far from wrong"
(I GOT SPURS) JINGLE JANGLE JINGLE
Kay Kyser
words by Frank Loesser, music by Joseph J. Lilley
found on http://www.lyricsxp.com/lyrics/j/jingle_jangle_jingle_kay_kyser.html
which looks like a nice resource for song lyrics (but watch out for a lot of pop-ups and who knows what else...)
*** I take it back. The spurs look to be only the part attached to the boot by a strap and with a single spike/axle on it. The rowels are what spins on the axle (and jingles). Some are much pointier than others... see http://www.oldwestcowboystore.com/spurs/
