wild wild west - scott simpson feat. janet higbee & kelsey higbee lyrics
wild wild west
sung by ma
cue: “oh, ma. don’t tell that sad story again.”
some folks like to reminisce
that the wild wild west was good
well if “wild” were good, your pa was the best,
if i could slap him on the back, i would,
if i could slap him on the back i would!
see, marshall bond was a brave man,
his posses fine and true.
so when the deadwood stage was robbed again,
we knew just what he’d do…
the finest men in town were called
to the square, for to make a plan.
and their horses stamped, and their rifles shined
and your pa was the thirteenth man,
your pa was the thirteenth man.
i told myself that a hero’s born
when a coward turns to face the storm
and maybe this here mouse of mine
will find his manhood redefined
and when the posse caught their crook,
and the outlaw sc-m was booked,
and the west was won
with them shiny guns
and a whoop and a hollar
in the blazin’ sun
and the beer went around
in that deadwood town
your pa found his manhood, sure…
she was a purty thing, so i’m told,
saloon girls always are…
and when the men returned they were missing one,
that snake who was your pa!
so i ran this inn all by myself
near twenty back-breaking years
wore my fingers to the bone
never wasted any tears–
silk purses from sow’s ears!
i told myself that a hero’s born
when a coward turns to face the storm
and maybe this here mouse of mine
will find his manhood redefined
and when the posse caught their crook,
and the outlaw sc-m was booked,
and the west was won
with them shiny guns
and a whoop and a hollar
in the blazin’ sun
and the beer went around
in that deadwood town
your pa found his manhood, sure…
some folks like to reminisce
that the wild wild west was good
well if “wild” were good, your pa was the best,
if i could slap him on the back, i would,
if i could slap him on the back i would!
