Lead Belly - Jesse James Lyrics




[ Featuring Woody Guthrie ]

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.
