Pecos Bill

 

Way out West down Texas way

Out where the varmints and the critters play

A pioneer family was looking' for elbow room.

 

The youngest of the young'uns, they called him Bill.

Fell out of the wagon and down a hill,

But a momma coyote saved that boy from doom.

 

He learned the ways of the creatures wild and free.

Havin' lots of fun on the lone prairie

Until one day he decided to be, the greatest cowboy in history.

Every day was a rodeo.

No one could rope and tie like Pecos Bill (Yee-Ha)

 

Now Bill's best friend and trusty steed

A highfalutin' creature with blazing speed

Was a horse called Lightning, no one could tame.

 

Together they traveled on the desert range

Inventin' up things that were mighty strange

Then a catfish ridin' girl stole ole' Bill's heart.

 

His eyes bugged out and opened wide

And she became his bouncing bride.

Well, the tall tales grow like the piney tree

About the greatest cowboy in history.
