Also recorded by David Rea, who did a stint as I & S's guitar player. Played with George-Thorogood style electric guitar, and his verses were a bit different:
When I was a cowboy, out on the western Plains (x2)
I made a half a million, pullin on the bridle reins.
Come-a-cow...
We fought the biggest battle, was ever on the western plains (x2) When me and a bunch of cowboys, we run into Jesse James
Come-a-cow...
Well me and a bunch of cowboys, we run into Jesse James (x2) You know them bullets they was a fallin, just like a shower of rain.
When I was a cowboy....etc.
