When I was a cowboy out on the western plain
When I was a cowboy out on the western plain
I made me a half a million
Just pullin' on the bridle reinOh, the hardest battle was fought on the Bunker Hill
Oh, the hardest battle was fought on the Bunker Hill
When me and a bunch of cowboys
Run in to Buffalo BillIf your house catch fire, and there ain't no water 'round
If your house catch fire, and there ain't no water 'round
Throw your jelly roll out the window
Let the goddamn shack burn downOh, the hardest battle was fought on the western plain
Oh, the hardest battle was fought on the western plain
When me and a bunch of cowboys
Run in to Jesse James
