When I Was a Cowboy (Western Plains)

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
 Come a cow ki--yicky
 Come a cow ki-yicky-yicky-yeah
 Come a cow ki--yicky
 Come a cow ki-yicky-yicky-yeah
 Oh, the hardest battle
 Was it ever on the western plains
 Oh, the hardest battle
 Was ever on the western plains
 When me and a bunch of cowboys
 Run into Jesse James
 Come a cow ki-yicky
 Come a cow ki-yicky-yicky-yeah
 Come a cow ki--yicky
 Come a cow ki-yicky-yicky-yeah
 When me and a bunch of cowboys
 Run into Jesse James
 When me and a bunch of cowboys
 Run into Jesse James
 The bullets was a-fallin'
 Just like a shower rain
 Come a cow ki--yicky
 Come a cow ki-yicky-yicky-yeah
 Come a cow ki--yicky
 Come a cow ki-yicky-yicky-yeah
 And the boys is already then they got drunk.
 And all around that man's house
 Them hosses was a-walkin'
 And them .45's was-a talkin'.
 And they shot out 'best regards'
 To that man and here what they says:
 The boys had it all in for a man on the outskirts a-town.
 And they had made the hosses drunk.
 They had made them .45's drunk. ha.
 De house catch de fire
 And they ain't no water 'round
 If yo' house catch de fire
 And they ain't no water 'round
 Throw yo' jelly out de window
 Let de doggone shack burn down
 Come a cow ki--yicky
 Come a cow ki-yicky-yicky-yeah
 Come a cow ki--yicky
 Come a cow ki-yicky-yicky-yeah
 Come all you cowboys
 Don't you wanna go?
 Come all you cowboys
 Don't you wanna go?
 Come meet de Lone Ranger
 On a range of Buffalo
 Come a cow ki--yicky
 Come a cow ki-yicky-yicky-yeah
 Come a cow ki--yicky
 Come a cow ki-yicky-yicky-yeah.
