When I was in trouble
Out on the western plains
When I was in trouble
Out on the western plains
Well I made a half a million
A-swingin' on the (battery?)
Come ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Well bullets was a-fallin'
Out on the western plain
Bullets was a-rainin'
Why me and a buncha cowboys
Run into Jesse James
Come ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Hey-aye
(harmonica solo)
Yeah, it's comin' 'long fine
And there ain't no water 'round
Well if your house catches on fire
And there ain't no water 'round
Throw your trunk out the window
Let the doggone shit burn down
Come ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
When I was in trouble
Out on the western plains
When I was in trouble
Out on the western plains
Well I made a half a million
A-swingin' on the (battery?)
Come ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
