Lyrics:

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.
O the biggest battle was ever on the western plains, (2x)
When me an' a bunch o' cowboys run into Jesse James.
Chorus
When me an' a bunch o' cowboys run into Jesse James, (2x)
The bullets was a-fallin' just like a shower of rain.
Chorus
O the hardest battle was ever on-a Bunker Hill, (2x)
When me an' a bunch o' cowboys run into Buffalo Bill.
Chorus
I went to my girl's house an' she's sittin' d'ere alone, (2x)
I'm a poor western cowboy an' a long way from home.
Chorus
When I left my girl's house, she was rockin' in her rockin' chair, (2x)
I'm a poor western cowboy an' please don't you leave me here.
Chorus
When your house catches fire an' they ain't no water 'round, (2x)
Throw your jelly out the window, let the doggone shack burn down.
Chorus
