1
Jerimiah said his peace and fell back in the road
2
He was shot by Coulee Reese
3
Who they nick-named Jack The Toad
4
Just across his shoulder just a little to the right
5
He heard the click of a 45 hammer
6
So he throws himself down and he hits the ground
7
Rolls right over and spins 'round
8
And with one good shot, just one good shot
9
He brings that villain right down
10
In true "Hour Western" manner
11
Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news
12
I knew Coulee, Coulee never lost his cool
13
A legend grew and Jack The Toad knew
14
To back up all the talk
15
One day soon, preferably noon
16
He's going to have to take the long walk
17
A poker game and a fast stake
18
Of these Jack was the master
19
But a man called Pete
20
At the end of a dusty dusty street
21
He's just about six feet
22
Now he just might, you know he just might
23
He might be a lttle faster
24
Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news
25
I knew Coulee, Coulee never lost his cool
26
I'll be blowed, I'll be blowed, I'll be blowed
27
It's Jack The Toad
28
I'll be blowed, I'll be blowed, I'll be blowed
29
It's Jack The Toad
30
Well it had to happen on a summers' day
31
When Jack was feeling good
32
But a friend of a friend, promised a friend of a friend
33
Promised a friend of a friend he would
34
But many brave men have said the same thing
35
Again and again and again
36
Now Jack, when he went out to face Pete
37
For the final showdown
38
He was just a little bit high
39
He'd been drinking and smoking
40
And he thought he was so fast
41
He made the last move
42
And that was the last move he made
43
Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news
44
I knew Coulee, Coulee never lost his cool
45
Well now he's gone but his memory lives on
46
In the mind of every comic strip reader
47
Some say weren't Jack, some say was camphor
48
Some say he was just a bleeder
49
One fact, one fact remain, always be the same
50
Now on your way through life
51
Sometimes you just got to be a little bad
52
I knew Jack and, my goodness, he was bad
53
He was bad, bad news
54
You just got to be a little bad because, if you ain't
55
The great gun fighter in the sky
56
Ain't got no one to save
57
And if you're just a little bad
58
Just a little bad
59
Nobody forgets your name
60
Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news
61
Bad, oh my goodness, Jack was bad news
