Texas Jack

Ol' Texas Jack he wandered, He wandered far and wide, With cactus spikes a blanket, Locoweed his temporary bride. And when Ol' Texas Jack was shot Straight dead---he very nearly died. But his horse, a sandy mare she was, Rode in from ancient Mexico. She kissed him once betwixt the eyes--- He jumped right up Where his tombstone lies! Yeah, when Ol' Texas Jack was shot, Wild Bill was by his side. He told me this tale I tell to you, And they both went off to ride. And if you go to Laramie or maybe Tombstone too, you'll see them Playing extras! They'll sit rite next to you! The pay's real good and the grubs alrite, And if you stay up all night, You'll see them riding in the mist. They're gone. Turn off the lights.
