Here's a story about a men few heard
his name Zipp Wyat.
Indiana born and raised
with the run they came and squat.
Married a gal in a close town
but soon his life slid to bad
where he ran north to leave town.
Escaping jail in Oklahoma he hid.
Soon this man met another outlaw
and they run to and fro across this state
causing harm to all the law
who per sued them around the state.
Theirs wife's would dress as men
to avoid the law on the hunt.
Gypsum hills is where the hid from men
and the wives were sent.
Many raids had been done by the duo
till Ike was was killed by the law.
Run on foot he did to find a ride
then hide in a field of corn till the law.
That day he was shot and caught
and sit to die with rot from the shot
