When I was a cowboy out on the western plains,
When I was a cowboy out on the western plains,
I made a half a million, pullin' on the bridle reins.
Chorus:
Come a cow cow yicky, come a cow cow yicky-yicky yea
Come a cow cow yicky, come a cow cow yicky-yicky yea
I rode up to my girl’s house, she was rockin’ in a rockin’ chair,
I rode up to my girl’s house, she was rockin’ in a rockin’ chair,
“Po’ western cowboy – please doncha leave me here.” (Chorus)
Wo, the hardest battle was ever on the western plains,
Wo, the hardest battle was ever on the western plains,
When me an’ a bunch o’ cowboys run into Jesse James. (Chorus)
When me and a bunch o’ cowboys run into Jesse James,
When me and a bunch o’ cowboys run into Jesse James.
The bullets was a-fallin' just like a shower of rain. (Chorus)
Wo, the hardest battle was ever on Bunker's Hill,
Wo, the hardest battle was ever on Bunker’s Hill,
When me an’ a bunch o’ cowboys run into Buffalo Bill. (Chorus)
If your house catches afire an’ there ain’t no water roun’,
If your house catches afire an’ there ain’t no water roun’,
Throw your jelly out the window, let the doggone shack burn down.” (Chorus)
Come all you cowboys, don’t you want to go?
Come all you cowboys, don’t you want to go?
Come meet the Lone Ranger in the range of the buffalo.” (Chorus)VIEW COMPLETE FEWER LYRICS
