Just about the worst gun battle
I've ever had in the western plains 
When me and a bunch of cowboys  
Run on in Jesse James
Come a ki-ki--yicky 
Cow, ki-yicky-yicky-yeah 

Run into Jesse James, boys 
Run into Jesse James
The guns went on like thunder
And the bullets fell like rain
Come a ki-ki--yicky 
Cow, ki-yicky-yicky-yeah 

I went to my girl's house 
She's sittin' d'ere alone 
Went to my girl's house 
She's sittin' d'ere alone 
I'm a poor western cowboy 
A long way from home 
Come a ki-ki--yicky 
Cow, ki-yicky-yicky-yeah 
When I left my girl's house 
She was rockin' in her rockin' chair 
When I left my girl's house 
She was rockin' in her rockin' chair 
Poor western cowboy 
Please don't you leave me here 
Come a ki-ki--yicky 
Cow, ki-yicky-yicky-yeah 
Went to my girl's house 
Sitting deep down in my saddle 
Went to my girl's house 
Sitting deep down in my saddle 
I'm the best western cowboy 
That ever herd cattle 
Come a ki-ki--yicky 
Cow, ki-yicky-yicky-yeah 
Oh, de hardest battle 
Was there ever on the western plains 
Oh, de hardest battle 
Was there ever on the western plains 
When me an a bunch of cowboys 
Run into Jesse James 
Come a ki-ki--yicky 
Cow, ki-yicky-yicky-yeah 
Me an a bunch of cowboys 
Run into Jesse James 
Me an a bunch of cowboys 
Run into Jesse James 
All the bullets was a-fallin' 
Just like a shower rain 
Come a ki-ki--yicky 
Cow, ki-yicky-yicky-yeah 
Come all you cowboys 
Don't you wanna go? 
Come all you cowboys 
Don't you wanna go? 
Gon see the ranges 
On the range in *Buffalo 
Come a cow ki--yicky 
Cow, cow, yicky-yicky-yea 
Take de hardest battle 
Was there ever on Bunker Hill 
Oh, de hardest battle 
Was there ever on Bunker Hill 
When me an' a bunch of cowboys 
Run into Buffalo Bill 
Come a cow ki--yicky 
Cow, cow, yicky-yicky-yea 
Come all you cowboys 
Don't you wanna hear? 
Come all you cowboys 
Don't you wanna hear? 
O'vr nineteen hundred 
Bullets around your ear 
Come a cow ki--yicky 
Cow, cow, yicky-yicky-yeah.
