Wells Fargo Lyrics - Singles - Babe Ruth

Jake ridin' shotgun the whole of his days 

Headin' for the Mexican border 

Shotgun movin' to the rhythm of his range 

Just to help him keep law and order 

Sits right back just a-takin' it easy 

Drinks a shot a whisky and it makes him mighty wheezy 

He coughed hard once 

He coughed hard twice 

Neglecting keeping watch 

Don't mind the sheriff's advice 

Ridin' 

Shotgun 

Runnin' over land 

To the Rio Grande 

Now 

Shots rang down from the rocks up above 

And bore Jake to his feet 

His pants fell down and actin' like a clown 

The bullets had him dancin' to a rock 'n' roll beat 

Big Jake did the boogaloo too 

Got lucky, he cried like a drunk 

His aspirations ain't no ??? for you 

And that's the way it is 

Ridin' 

Shotgun 

Runnin' over land 

To the Rio Grande 

Now 

Stage gotten in to the centre of town 

And Jake gotta have himself a drink 

He got to the bar and what he saw 

There was something simple station folk would hate to think 

Ella-May was dancin' to the sound of the blues 

Her belly must be wobblin' right down to her shoes 

It's a-groovin' on the sidewalk, just don't get too near 

'Cause you're gonna get knocked over by a belly full o' beer 

Ridin' 

Shotgun 

Runnin' over land 

To the Rio Grande 

Take the law in hand 

To the Rio Grande 

Now
