George Bittercreek Newcomb (Larry w. Jones 06/07/2008) (song#5481)

Once there lived a wild west Texas cowboy
And George Bittercreek Newcomb was his name
He was born in Kansas in old Fort Scott
But out to west Texas is where he came
Now, George was his Daddy's favorite son
His Mama said he was her pride and joy
But he was a wild west Texas cowboy

T'was at an early age that George left home
And out west to the Long S Ranch he roamed
Now, Texas John Slaughter was the owner
It's said he treated George Newcomb quite well
But George was a loner, soon a goner
Drifted up to Oklahoma, his ploy
Cause he was a wild west Texas cowboy

One day on the prairie, George rode along
Listnin' to a mockin' bird sing his song
Up rode the Dunn brothers with sister Rose
Rose Dunn was their decoy, the story goes
The Dunn brothers meant to kill and destroy
George was a west Texas outlaw cowboy
He was a west Texas outlaw cowboy

Throw down your gun, we're four brothers to one
Surrender to the law, the law has won
But George drew his pistol, often employed
I'll fight, said the wild west Texas cowboy

George fired a shot at Calvin, four fired back
Dal, Bee and Bill loaded George on a wagon
Looked like a bullet riddled gunny sack
Once there lived a wild west Texas cowboy
He was a member of the Wild Bunch gang
And George Bittercreek Newcomb was his name
George Bittercreek Newcomb was his name
