lyrics

Now, I road into town on the west Texas wind just a teeming with pride.
Then, I buffaloed Bill with the old “border roll,” in the blink of an eye.
He said, “Son, keep your back to the old Apple Jack, and a colt at your side,
And be ready to ride.”
Well, I’ll tell you young man, that my plow handle hand is a faster than light.
And I killed my first man at the age of fifteen and I may kill tonight.
I’ll not make for quick work, I assure you good sir, although many have tried.
So, be ready to ride.
Oh, Miss Bowen’s my buxom young raven-haired beauty, I bid her to bride.
I said, “Janie, I know where your wagon is going, and I’ll be your guide.
Once that Big Brazos River shakes Quaker from quiver, just steady your stride,
And be ready to ride.
Are you ready to ride?”
I was shuffled in shackles to Huntsville Hotel; I was fit to be tied.
Go on, throw me back down in the hole, Cap, and I’ll sure be happy to hide.
I’ve been waiting to make my courageous escape, ‘til the graces preside,
Then, I’m ready ride.
Are you ready to ride?
Ready to ride.
