From the bad lands came the k**er He lived by the knife and the gun He'd cut you just for standing And shoot ya if ya tried to run He was big as a tree and did as he pleased And everything he did was bad And they said if you was to k** him It'd only make him mad From the good lands came the cowgirl Patti was her name She was hot on the trail of that k**er On a moped she called Flame 'Cause the k**er had k**ed her daddy Just for spittin' in the road You only had to k** her daddy once To get that gal P.O.'d Yippie eye eh Cow Patti Yippie eye eh Cow Patti She rode into town to find the man that k**ed her daddy Yippie eye eh Cow Patti The k**er hit town at daybreak Ate the door of the local saloon He started to drink you could tell
He was thinking there'll be a showdown soon Patti hit town in a cloud of dust Ol' Flame was buzzin' like a saw And the whole town got quiet as a church When the k**er stepped out for the draw Forty shots rang out Forty people fell Patti and the k**er missed each other But they shot that town to hell Yippie eye eh Cow Patti Yippie eye eh Cow Patti She rode into town to find the man that k**ed her daddy Yippie eye eh Cow Patti The k**er took a step towards Patti Said it's time I gunned you down But he slipped in something that was layin' in the street And was shot before he hit the ground Yes, the k**er slipped and it cost him his life And Patti said as she roared out of town You gotta watch your step When you know the chips are down
