Lyrics
When I was a cowboy, way out on the western plains,
When I was a cowboy, way out on the western plains;
I made a million dollars pulling the bridle reins.
Refrain
Coma cow cow,
Coma cow cow, yicky yicky yea.
Oh the hardest battle was ever on a Bunker Hill,
Oh the hardest battle was ever on a Bunker Hill,
When me and a bunch of cowboys run into Buffalo Bill. Refrain
Oh the hardest battle was ever on the western plains,
Oh the hardest battle was ever on the western plains,
When me and a bunch of cowboys run into Jesse James. Refrain
