“Wild Bill Hickok's Western Show”

Hickok: If you've never seen a Bronco throw a rider to the sky,

or a marksman put a bullet clean through a needles eye.

If you've never seen  Apaches on the warpath follow me,

cause I'm Wild Bill Hickok, and I'm the man to see.

Company: Cause he's Wild Bill Hickok, and he's the man to see.

Come hear some fancy fiddle playing at the old Saloon,

see the sheriff face an outlaw in a showdown at High Noon.

Come and see a posse streakin' 'cross the desert in the Sun,

as they chase a pack of thieven' Desperados on the Run.

Chorus: Wild Bill Hickok's Western show!

He's the greatest showman that the world will ever know!

Wild Bill Hickok's Western show,

come see the wildest round up this side of the Ohio.

Come see ghostly indian warriors dancin' when the moon is full.

See a famous Texan bronco-buster break a wild bull.

James Butler, Annie Oakley, Wyatt Earp, and Pecos Bill,

with these legendary names you know you'll get a western thrill.

Chorus: Wild Bill Hickok's Western show!

He's the greatest showman that the world will ever know!

Wild Bill Hickok's Western show,

come see the wildest round up this side of the Ohio.

Wild Bill Hickok's Western show!

 “She'll Be Coming round the Mountain”

She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes (toot toot)
She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes (toot toot)
She'll be coming round the mountain, She'll be coming round the mountain,
She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes (toot toot)
She'll be driving six white horses when she comes (whoa Bill)
She'll be driving six white horses when she comes (whoa Bill)
She'll be driving six white horses, She'll be driving six white horses,
She'll be driving six white horses when she comes (whoa Bill)
Oh, we'll all go out to meet her when she comes (hi babe)
Oh, we'll all go out to meet her when she comes (hi babe)
Oh, we'll all go out to meet her, we'll all go out to meet her,
We'll all go out to meet her when she comes (hi babe)
She'll be wearing pink pajamas when she comes (woo whoo)
She'll be wearing pink pajamas when she comes (woo whoo)
She'll be wearing pink pajamas, She'll be wearing pink pajamas,
She'll be wearing pink pajamas when she comes (woo whoo)

“Home on the Range”

Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam,

Where the deer and the antelope play,

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Chorus Home, home on the range,

Where the deer and the antelope play,

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

“Jimmy, Crack Corn”

When I was young, I used to wait
On the boss and give him his plate
And pass him the bottle when he got dry
And brush away the blue tail fly

Chorus:

Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
My master's gone away

When he would ride in the afternoon
I'd follow after, with a hickory broom
The pony being rather shy
When bitten by blue tail fly

Chorus:

Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
My master's gone away

The pony run, he jumped, he pitch
He threw my master in the ditch
He died and the jury wondered why
The verdict was the blue tail fly

Chorus:

Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
My master's gone away

“Sweet Betsy from Pike”

Now do you remember sweet Betsy from Pike
Who crossed the wide prairie with her lover Ike
with Two yoke of oxen and a big yeller dog
A tall Shanghai rooster and one spotted hog

Sing toorali, oorali, oorali ay
Sing toorali, oorali, oorali ay

“Skip to my Lou”

Fly's in the buttermilk,
Shoo, fly, shoo,
Fly's in the buttermilk,
Shoo, fly, shoo,
Fly's in the buttermilk,
Shoo, fly, shoo,
Skip to my Lou, my darlin'.

Lost my partner,
What'll I do?
Lost my partner,
What'll I do?
Lost my partner,
What'll I do?
Skip to my lou, my darlin'.

I'll get another one
Prettier than you,
I'll get another one
Prettier than you,
I'll get another one
Prettier than you,
Skip to my Lou, my darlin'.

Can't get a red bird,
Jay bird'll do,
Can't get a red bird,
Jay bird'll do,
Can't get a red bird,
Jay bird'll do,
Skip to my Lou, my darlin'.

“Buffalo Gals”

As I was walking down the street

down the street, down the street

a pretty girl I chanced to meet

and we danced by the light of the moon

Chorus:

Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight

come out tonight, come out tonight

Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight

and we'll dance by the light of the moon.

I stopped her and we had a talk,

Had a talk, had a talk

her feet took up the whole sidewalk

and left no room for me

Chorus:

Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight

come out tonight, come out tonight

Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight

and we'll dance by the light of the moon.

I danced with a gal with a hole in her stocking

and her knees was a'knockin' and her shoes was a'rockin'

I danced with a gal with a hole in her stocking

and we danced by the light of the moon.

Chorus:

Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight

come out tonight, come out tonight

Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight

and we'll dance by the light of the moon. 

“Oh Susanna”

Oh, I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee!
And I'm going to Louisiana, there my true love for to see.
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna don't you cry.

Oh Susanna! Oh don't you cry for me!
For I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee!

I had a dream the other night, when everything was still,
I thought I saw Susanna dear a-comin' down the hill.
A red, red rose was in her hand, a tear was in her eye,
I said I come from dixieland, Susanna don't you cry!
Oh Susanna! Oh, don't you cry for me!
For I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee!
