Jack The Toad |
| Jerimiah said his peace and fell back in the road |
| He was shot by Coulee Reese |
| Who they nick-named Jack The Toad |
| Just across his shoulder just a little to the right |
| He heard the click of a 45 hammer |
| So he throws himself down and he hits the ground |
| Rolls right over and spins 'round |
| And with one good shot, just one good shot |
| He brings that villain right down |
| In true «Hour Western» manner |
| Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news |
| I knew Coulee, Coulee never lost his cool |
| A legend grew and Jack The Toad knew |
| To back up all the talk |
| One day soon, preferably noon |
| He’s going to have to take the long walk |
| A poker game and a fast stake |
| Of these Jack was the master |
| But a man called Pete |
| At the end of a dusty dusty street |
| He’s just about six feet |
| Now he just might, you know he just might |
| He might be a lttle faster |
| Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news |
| I knew Coulee, Coulee never lost his cool |
| I’ll be blowed, I’ll be blowed, I’ll be blowed |
| It’s Jack The Toad |
| I’ll be blowed, I’ll be blowed, I’ll be blowed |
| It’s Jack The Toad |
| Well it had to happen on a summers' day |
| When Jack was feeling good |
| But a friend of a friend, promised a friend of a friend |
| Promised a friend of a friend he would |
| But many brave men have said the same thing |
| Again and again and again |
| Now Jack, when he went out to face Pete |
| For the final showdown |
| He was just a little bit high |
| He’d been drinking and smoking |
| And he thought he was so fast |
| He made the last move |
| And that was the last move he made |
| Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news |
| I knew Coulee, Coulee never lost his cool |
| Well now he’s gone but his memory lives on |
| In the mind of every comic strip reader |
| Some say weren’t Jack, some say was camphor |
| Some say he was just a bleeder |
| One fact, one fact remain, always be the same |
| Now on your way through life |
| Sometimes you just got to be a little bad |
| I knew Jack and, my goodness, he was bad |
| He was bad, bad news |
| You just got to be a little bad because, if you ain’t |
| The great gun fighter in the sky |
| Ain’t got no one to save |
| And if you’re just a little bad |
| Just a little bad |
| Nobody forgets your name |
| Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news |
| Bad, oh my goodness, Jack was bad news |
