lyrics

Cowboy Jack tipped his hat
marked a red dot on the Southern map
to Bisbee, to Bisbee

rode his horse straight into town
had a real good look around
in Bisbee, in Bisbee

met a woman with long dark hair
she said “You can tie your horse over there”
in Bisbee, in Bisbee

and in the cool of the night
you can still hear them sigh
in Bisbee

Cowboy Jack was the talk of the town
made all the women blush and all the men frown
in Bisbee, in Bisbee

fell in love with the mayor’s wife
thought her rosy lips felt nice
in Bisbee, in Bisbee

she held him close, took his hand
said “I want you to be my man”
in Bisbee, in Bisbee

and the in cool of the night
you can still hear them sigh
in Bisbee

stole his love from her satin room
put her on his his horse and said let’s move
In Bisbee, in Bisbee
made it halfway out of the town
when the mayor and his boys
shot them down
in Bisbee, in Bisbee
the mountains trembled
and the night stars cried
Cowboy Jack lost his life
in Bisbee, in Bisbee

and in the cool of the night
you can still hear them sigh
in Bisbee
