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