When that nag n' James pulled out
Of Gopher Gulch, Kincade County Deputies
On their tail, headed out across
The plain following that Fortune Trail
Miscalculations in their reservations
Had caused their confidence to rust
And with the curse cast so long ago
It was hit that road they must oh

Goddammaddog you must follow that horse maddog
Dam Maddog you must follow that horse mad dogdam
James boy you're bust follow that horse Maddog

When the James boy shot down ol' Jeremiah
We'd loaded up our six-gun knells
Saddled up our two-tone Maggies
And loaded up our spades and bells.. when

          Hm   Em7   A    A7
We met an ol' cowhand
Hm   Em  G  D  A       A7
From the Rio Grande, he said
Hm  Em  G   Em  G  A      A7
'Can you lend me a grand?
Hm  Em  G  Em  D   A      A7
Cos I own me some land
         Hm    G        A       A7
And I havn't gotten laid
Hm Em G  E  
In a blue moon           

(solo)

|| D   | A    |  Em  |  G  ||  6x

We said, 'No, you ol' cowhand
From the Rio Grande
Can't lend you a grand
Cos we play in a band
And havn't gotten paid
In a black sun

||: D   |  A   |  Em  |  G   : ||

Goddammaddog you must follow that horse maddog
Dam Maddog you must follow that horse mad dogdam
