Ballad of Big (2007 Remaster) - Genesis
Big Jim Cooley commanded respect whatever he wanted he could get
The badge on his waistcoat shone in the sun
It ain't no lie that Big Jim was feared by everyone
In the saloon one evening Big took a bet
With a rancher whose name I forget
He wanted a herd taken over the plain
And he called Jim yellow he'll never do that again
He got mad
He threw his badge on the floor and walked out
He's gonna give it a try he left no doubt
Must be mad he must be mad
The people wished him well and good luck
Well I don't need it He laughed
Got on his horse and rode away
Out on the trail Jim n his crew of five
Were trying their best to keep the cattle alive
The weather was hard but so were the men
Though I don't think even Big will try this trip again
His horses were edgy sensing trouble ahead
But the trouble didnt start until the men were in bed
A whooping and a hollering flashing their knives
Big and his men were jumped by an allstar Indian tribe
He was scared Big Jim was scared
Alive they called him lucky but not today
Cos he died like all good cowboys with his boots on next to his men
Big Jim he still won't lie dow
For him the bet is still on
Some say he rides there cursing still
Some say they've seen him
