Big Jim Cooley
commanded respect, whatever he wanted he could get
The badge on his waistcoat shone in the sun
It aint no lie, Big Jim was feared by everyone
In the saloon one evening Big took a bet with a rancher whose
name I forget
He wanted a herd taken over the plain
He called Jim "yellow", hell never do that again
He got mad!
He threw his badge on the floor and walked out
Hes gonna give it a try, he left no doubt
"Must be mad, must be mad!"
The people wished him well, and good luck
"Hell, I dont need it!" He laughed, got on his horse
and rode away
Over on the trail, Jim n his crew of five
Were trying their best to keep the cattle alive
The weather was hard, but so were the men
Though I dont think even Jim will try this try again
His horses were edgy, sensing trouble ahead
But the trouble didnt start till the men were in bed
A-whooping and a-hollering and flashing their knives
Big Jim and his men were jumped by an all-star Indian tribe
He was scared, Big Jim was scared
Alive, they called him lucky, but not today
Cos he died like all good cowboys with his boots on next to his
men
Big Jim, he wont lie down
For him the bet is still on
Some say he rides there, cursing still
Some say theyve seen him
