Oh she said her daddy's name was Charlie Ville

She had a lot of kiddies and a lot of bills

So I grabbed my horse that was nice and handy

Now in my moleskin trousers and my William's boots 
 F 
I board me an outlaw as he leaves the chutes 
        Bb 
In my goose neck spurs I rake his fiery hide 
      F                              Bb 
The girls all shouting 'round the ringside

Now I've done a little fightin' in the western bars 
 F 
Done a little lovin' 'neath the moon and stars 
   Bb 
I wear bright clothes and shirts full of colour 
          F                             Bb
