Huddie spoken:
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.
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:
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
Come a cow ki-yicky-yicky-yeah
Come all you cowboys
Don’t you wanna go?

On a range of Buffalo

Come a cow ki-yicky-yicky-yeah
Come a cow ki–yicky
Come a cow ki-yicky-yicky-yeah.
