Lyrics
0:14Jerimiah said his peace and fell back in the road
0:20He was shot by coulee reese
0:22Who they nick named Jack the toad
0:26Just across his shoulder just a little to the right
0:28He heard the click of a 45 hammer
0:33So he throws himself down and he hits the ground
0:38He rolls right over and spins 'round
0:43And with one good shot just one good shot
0:49He brings that villain right down
0:56In true hour western manner
0:59Bad bad news he was bad bad news
1:06I knew coulee coulee never lost his cool
1:15A legend grew and jack the toad knew
1:19To back up all the talk
1:22One day soon preferably noon
1:24He's going to have to take the long walk
1:28A poker game and a fast stake
1:31Of these Jack was the master
1:38But a man called pete
1:41At the end of a dusty dusty street
1:45He's just about six feet
1:49Now he just might
1:52You know he just might
1:58He might be a little faster
2:02Bad bad news he was bad bad news
2:09I knew coulee coulee never lost his cool
2:14I'll be blowed
2:18I'll be blowed
2:21I'll be blowed
2:24It's Jack the toad
3:42I'll be blowed
3:44I'll be blowed
3:48I'll be blowed
3:51It's jack the toad
3:58Well it had to happen on a summers' day
4:01When Jack was feeling good
4:04But a friend of a friend promised a friend of
4:07A friend promised
4:08A friend of a friend he would
4:11But many brave men have said the same thing
4:14Again and again and again
4:20Now Jack when he went out to face pete
4:24For the final showdown
4:27He was just a little bit high
4:32He'd been drinking and smoking
4:35And he thought he was so fast
4:38He made the last move
4:41And that was the last move he made
4:44Bad bad news he was bad bad news
4:51I knew coulee coulee never lost his cool
4:55Well now
5:00Well now he's gone but his memory lives on
5:04In the mind of every comic strip reader
5:06Some say weren't jack some say was camphor
5:10Some say he was just a bleeder
5:14One fact one fact remain always be the same
5:25Now on your way through life
5:30Sometimes you just got to be a little bad
5:36I knew Jack and my goodness he was bad
5:43He was bad bad news
5:48You just got to be a little bad because if
5:50You ain't
5:54The great gun fighter in the sky
5:57Ain't got no one to save
6:01And if you're just a little bad
6:06Just a little bad
6:11Nobody forgets your name
6:14Bad bad news he was bad bad news
6:21Bad oh my goodness Jack was bad news
Jerimiah said his peace and fell back in the road He was shot by coulee reese Who they nick named Jack the toad Just across his shoulder just a little to the right He heard the click of a 45 hammer So he throws himself down and he hits the ground He rolls right over and spins 'round And with one good shot just one good shot He brings that villain right down In true hour western manner Bad bad news he was bad bad news I knew coulee coulee never lost his cool A legend grew and jack the toad knew To back up all the talk One day soon preferably noon He's going to have to take the long walk A poker game and a fast stake Of these Jack was the master But a man called pete At the end of a dusty dusty street He's just about six feet Now he just might You know he just might He might be a little faster Bad bad news he was bad bad news I knew coulee coulee never lost his cool I'll be blowed I'll be blowed I'll be blowed It's Jack the toad I'll be blowed I'll be blowed I'll be blowed It's jack the toad Well it had to happen on a summers' day When Jack was feeling good But a friend of a friend promised a friend of A friend promised A friend of a friend he would But many brave men have said the same thing Again and again and again Now Jack when he went out to face pete For the final showdown He was just a little bit high He'd been drinking and smoking And he thought he was so fast He made the last move And that was the last move he made Bad bad news he was bad bad news I knew coulee coulee never lost his cool Well now Well now he's gone but his memory lives on In the mind of every comic strip reader Some say weren't jack some say was camphor Some say he was just a bleeder One fact one fact remain always be the same Now on your way through life Sometimes you just got to be a little bad I knew Jack and my goodness he was bad He was bad bad news You just got to be a little bad because if You ain't The great gun fighter in the sky Ain't got no one to save And if you're just a little bad Just a little bad Nobody forgets your name Bad bad news he was bad bad news Bad oh my goodness Jack was bad news
