Red Rider

I know you've heard the legends of cowboys in the west
Matt Dillon and Bat Masterson were two of the best
But of all the bad gunslingers that the west has entertained
There's one who really tops them all Red rider was his name
Red rider, red rider rootinest tootinest straight ace
shootinest quick on the draw and he never hit the law
Red rider red rider
One night in old Dodge City at a place called the golden flame
Red rider and Little beaver were in a poker game
When through the door walked Cactus Pete he stopped and looked around
and he broke the news to Red rider
the long tall Texas was coming to town
Red rider red rider rootinest tootinest stray ace shootinest
quick on the draw and he never hit the law red rider red rider
Next day the town was watching and their eyes were filled with fright
As a bony little structure rode in on a horse of white
He tied it back to a hitching post and the crowd all heard him say
"Can someone tell me ma'am where does red rider stay?"
Red rider red rider rootinest tootinest straight ace
shootinest quick on the draw and he never hit the law
Red rider red rider
About that time red rider walked out of the last chance hotel
His spurs were jingling and his hands
on his guns and the crowd begin to yell
They walked out in the street, face to face and started to draw
And the Texan yelled
"I married your sister last week in
Wichita and I am your brother in law"
Now the moral of this story be it known to both cowwomen and cowmen
is that the code of the west just
don't allow for no shooting up your kin
Red rider red rider rootinest tootinest straight ace
shootinest quick on the draw and he never hit the law.
Red rider
