There's a cowboy whose name was Big Jesse

On his head was a big prairie hat

And a big prairie hat's what they called him

Or something that sounded like that

He rolled down the trail on a gas stove

because he liked riding the range

He was known as an ornery cowpoke

'Til one pocked him back for a change

It tossed him high up on a cactus

One of them with the pointiest thorn

Then he slid down a branch with no pants on

And that's how the yodel was born

Ivor, are you all right?

Yes, I was yodelling

We thought you were having a seizure

I thought he was having a stroke

Don't worry He's always having one of those

I didn't notice his hand in his pocket

He's worn the fingerprints right off his right hand

This is the sound engineer can we get on with it?

Stand by pardners here comes verse four

He was hairy and hairy and scary

An outlaw, a fierce buckaroo

But the posse all called him a pussy

And the injuns had reservations too

In a showdown he faced Wild Bill Itchy-cock

Who was itching' to fill him with lead

When he whipped out his weapon, poor Jesse

Lay dying, and here's what he said

Oh bury me out on the prairie

And send my regards to my mum

Tell her soon neath the sod I'll be lying

While the prairie dogs nest up my bum

Pour whiskey each day on my grave boys

For I sure have a terrible thirst

So they splashed out on pints of Jack Daniels

But they passed it through our kidneys first

And his ghost rides the trail in the moonlight

But the cowboys don't think much of that

cos whenever they think of Big Jesse

They remember that big prairie hat
