Cactus Jack

Now, listen, kids, here's a sad little song About a poor cowboy whose life went wrong And there's a lesson too; that's for free You can pay me back when you're ninety-three Cactus Jack, Cactus Jack Fell off his horse in a cactus patch Twenty-seven needles stuck in his back Poor old Cactus Jack Cryin' out loud, cryin' out loud Cries all night like a homesick hound Scared it'll hurt if you pull 'em out Sore old Cactus Jack Cactus Jack, Cactus Jack If he comes your way, better ease on back Cactus Jack, Cactus Jack A big, big baby, and that's a fact Don't you dare, don't you dare Touch them needles - you'll wake a bear Jimmy did once and he lost one ear Mean old Cactus Jack! (mmm!) Sun to moon, night or noon He drowned his sorrows at the cool saloon He was drinkin' root beer, give him room Bad old Cactus Jack See him cry, my oh my A frown on his face like his dog just died Don't even smile when he eats peach pie Sad old Cactus Jack Cactus Jack, Cactus Jack If he comes your way, better ease on back Cactus Jack, Cactus Jack Mean as a cat in a burlap sack Dang it hurts, dang it hurts He took some scissors and fixed his shirts Cut little holes where the needles were Silly Cactus Jack Okay, now, listen here Listen here Don't let thorns fester years and years Prickly words or prickly pears Learn from Cactus Jack Pull 'em out, pull 'em out Bite your bullet, it's fine to shout A few stings now, or a lot to pout Learn from Cactus Jack! (mmm!) Cactus Jack, Cactus Jack If he comes your way, better ease on back Cactus Jack, Cactus Jack A mean, mean man, and that's a fact Pull 'em out, you gotta pull 'em out Bite that bullet, scream and shout A few tears now or a lot to pout Learn from Cactus Jack A few tears now or a lot to pout Learn from Cactus Jack
