Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just about the worst gun battle
Ever out on the western plains
When me and a bunch of cowboys
Went running with Jesse James
Come-a-cow-cow-yicky
Come-a-cow-cow-yicky
Yicky-yay
[Verse 2]
Run into Jesse James, boys
Run into Jesse James
The guns went off like thunder
And the bullets fell like rain
Come-a-cow-cow-yicky
Come-a-cow-cow-yicky
Yicky-yay
[Verse 3]
The guns went off like lightning
And the bullets fell like hail
Was on our way to Denver
On the old Dodge City trail
Come-a-cow-cow-yicky
Come-a-cow-cow-yicky
Yicky-yay
[Verse 4]
And in that bloody battle
With Frank and Jesse James
My partners fell around me
With bullets in their brains
Come-a-cow-cow-yicky
Come-a-cow-cow-yicky
Yicky-yay
[Verse 5]
Frank and Jesse James, boys
They robbed that midnight mail
The bank and express station
And broke the county jail
Come-a-cow-cow-yicky
Come-a-cow-cow-yicky
Yicky-yay
[Verse 6]
If you're afraid to fight, boys
If you're afraid to die
You'd better stay out of the Badlands
Where the red-hot bullets fly
Come-a-cow-cow-yicky
Come-a-cow-cow-yicky
Yicky-yay
[Verse 7]
If you're afraid of dying
If you're afraid of death
You'd better stay at home, boys
Stay out of Jesse's path
Come-a-cow-cow-yicky
Come-a-cow-cow-yicky
Yicky-yay
[Verse 8]
Come-a-cow-cow-yicky
Come-a-cow-cow-yicky
Yicky-yay
