Lyrics
THIS HERE'S THE STORY OF CATFISH JACK
AND OF DOGBONE JONES THE LOWDOWN RAT
RODE INTO TOWN SHOT CAT IN THE BACK
LEFT HIM IN THE DIRT TO DIE
LEFT HIM IN THE DIRT TO DIE
CATFISH JACK BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK
THAT DOG'S A MEAN OL' SON
CATFISH JACK BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK
THAT RASCAL'S GOT A GUN
YOU KNOW THAT JACK GIVE YOU THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK
NOT MUCH FOR TALKIN', BUT TOUGHER 'N TACK
LIVES WITH A WIFE IN A PRETTY LITTLE SHACK
ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN
ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN
CHORUS
DOGBONE JONES IS A YELLOW-BELLIED VILLAIN
LIVES FOR STEALIN', MAULIN' 'ND A KILLIN'
NEEDS CAT'S LAND FOR THE OIL THAT HE'S DRILLIN'
BLOOD AND THUNDER IN HIS MIND
BLOOD AND THUNDER IN HIS MIND
WELL THAT WOULDA BEEN THE END OF CATFISH JACK
THAT FATEFUL MORNIN' BY THE RAILROAD TRACK
DOGBONE JONES SHOT HIM IN THE BACK
BUT CAT WAS TOO TOUGH A NUT TO CRACK
HE REFUSED TO DIE, FOUGHT RIGHT BACK
CRAWLED ACROSS TOWN, SAW DR. BLACK
WHO SAID, "YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL SON
THAT DOGBONE JONES LIKE TO PLAY WITH GUNS!"
