Lyrics for 'The Desperado'

For a bold bad man was this desperado
From Badman's Gulch way down in Colorado,
And he rode around like a big tornado
And ev'rywhere he went he gave his big whoop - Hey!

He was a desperado from the wild and woolly west,
But ev'ry now and then he'd go and give the West a rest.
He'd saddle up his horse, put on his spurs and leather vest,
And ev'rywhere he went he gave his big whoop - Hey!

He had a skunk named Arnie but he thought he was a hat.
He'd put him up on top his head and wear him just like that.
And everywhere they'd go the people'd point and say what's that,
And Arnie'd wag his tail and give his big whoop - Hey!

For a bold bad man was this desperado
From Badman's Gulch way down in Colorado,
And he rode around like a big tornado,
And ev'rywhere he went he gave his big whoop - Hey!

He was a desperado from the wild and woolly west,
But ev'ry now and then he'd go and give the West a rest.
He'd saddle up his horse, put on his spurs and leather vest,
And ev'rywhere he went he gave his big whoop - Hey!

He had a horse named Lightnin' but she wasn't very quick,
She never liked to run but she could snort and buck and kick.
And when our Desperado saddled up and gave a kick,
She'd throw him so you'd really hear his big whoop - Hey!

For a bold bad man was this desperado
From Badman's Gulch way down in Colorado,
And he rode around like a big tornado,
And ev'rywhere he went he gave his big whoop - Hey!

He was a desperado from the wild and woolly west,
But ev'ry now and then he'd go and give the West a rest.
He'd saddle up his horse, put on his spurs and leather vest,
And ev'rywhere he went he gave his big whoop - Hey!
