He was a desperado from the wild and woolly West
He came into Chicago just to igve the West a rest
He wore a big sombrero and a gun beneath his vest
And everywhere he went he gave his war cry

Chorus:
Oh what a brave bold man was theis desparado
From Cripple Creek, way down in Colorado
And he walked around like a tornado
And everywhere he went he gaem his war cry

Agreat big fat policeman
was a walkind down his beat
He saw this deperado come
a walking down the street
He grabbed him by the whiskers
And he grabbed him by the seat
And there him where he wouldn't give his war cry
