Lead Belly
Medley: Son of Bill Baety
[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 hey, 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!
