Wells Fargo (1994 Remaster)

Jake riding south on the overland stage
Heading for the Mexican border
Shotgun movin' to the rhythm of the range
Just to help to keep law and order
Sits right back just a takin' it easy
Drinks a shot of whiskey and it makes him mighty wheezy
He coughed hard once
He coughed hard twice
Neglecting, keepin' watch, don't mind the sheriff's advice
Ridin'
Shotgun
Ridin' overland to the Rio Grande now
Shot rang down from the rocks above
And brought Jake to his feet
His pants fell down and acted like a clown
The bullets hit him dancing to a rock 'n' roll beat
Big Jake did the boogaloo too
Got lucky, he tried the jerk
These operations they don't lie to you
They lie to one and all
Ridin'
Shotgun
Ridin' overland to the Rio Grande now
Stage gotten near to the dead of town
And Jake gotta have himself a drink
He got to the bar and what he found
Was self-respect and folk would hate to think
Elamay was dancin' to the sound of the blues
Her belly must be wobbly right down to her shoes
If a groover on the sidewalk just don't get too near
'Cause you're gonna get your groover by a belly full of beer
Ridin'
Shotgun
Ridin' overland to the Rio Grande
Take your law in hand to the Rio Grande now
