Medley: Son of Bill Baety

Lyrics
[Son of Bill Baety] [Verse 1] Billy and Johnny were tendin' bar In walked Baety with a shiny star Baety said, "Duncan, you're under arrest" Duncan shot a hole in Baety's breast [Verse 2] Baety fell down the barroom floor "Please, Mr. Duncan don't shoot me no more" Women all cryin', "Ain't it a shame? Shot Kent Baety, gonna shoot him again" [Verse 3] Baety had a .45 Said it would shoot for half a mile Duncan, he had a .44 That's what laid Mr. Baety so low [Chorus] Baety, Baety, Baety you know you done wrong Broken my bushes when the gang was goin' home Knockin' down the windows, tearin' down the door Now, layin' dead on the floor, laid low [Verse 4] Old Miss Baety was home in bed Got a telegram that Baety was dead "Say, now, children get your hats on your head Let's go see if Kent Baety is dead" [Verse 5] Baety, Baety, Baety why did you run? You ought not face that .44 gun Baety, Baety why did you run? You not oughta face that Gatling gun [Chorus] Baety, Baety, Beaty, you know you done wrong Broken the bushes when the gang was goin' home Knockin' down the windows, tearin' down the door Now, layin' dead on the floor, laid low [Western Cowboy] [Verse 1] Hey, all you, cowboys, awoo Now, don't you wanna go? Hey, all you, cowboys Don't you wanna go? Yes, and meet the Lone Ranger On the trail to Buffalo? [Chorus] Come-a-kaw-kaw-yippee Come-a-kaw-kaw-yippee-yippee-yay [Verse 2] All the hardest battles Are on the western plains All the hardest battles Are on the western plains He made a half a million Workin' on the bridle reins [Chorus] Come-a, kaw-kaw-yippee Come-a-kaw-kaw-yippee-yippee-yay [Verse 3] Well, hey, all you, cowboys, awoo Now, don't you wanna go, yeah-yeah And meet the Lone Ranger On the trail to Buffalo? [Chorus] Come-a, kaw-kaw-yippee Come-a-kaw-kaw-yippee-yippee-yay [Bridge] Well, it was that the men had it all in for a man On the outskirts of town And then they went made their horses drunk Then the men went and all got drunk, they were out of it And all around that man's house Them horse was a-walkin' And .45 was talkin' They sent their best regards to that man inside [Verse 4] If your house catches afire And there ain't no water around, woah If your house catches afire And there ain't no water around, 'round Throw your chili out the window And let the dadburn shack burn down [Chorus] Come-a-kaw-kaw-yippee A-kaw-kaw-yippee-yippee-yay Oh-a-kaw-kaw-yippee A-kaw-kaw-yippee-yippee-yay Ow! Ow!
