When I ^Gmgot to Kansas City there were ^Fpeople in the road. They ^Gmknew the town was dirty but they ^Fdidn't think it ^EbShowed. I ^GmWombled down the ^Fmain street; there was ^Gmsilence all a^Fround. No-^Gmbody tried to stop me as I ^Fcleaned up the ^Gmtown. ^Gm

[Chorus]

I was ^Bbbold, I was ^F/Abrave, I was ^Gmfearless, I was ^Ebfamous for the thi^C7ngs that I ^Fdid, I was ^Bbquick on the ^D7draw as I ^Ebtidied up the ^Cmfloor so they ^Bbcalled me the O^F7rinoco

[Verse 2]

Well they ^Gmsent someone to meet me, name of ^FBig John Womble Wayne, He ^Gmthrew his cigar on the ground as he ^Fstepped down from the ^Ebtrain. I ^Gmstood up on my ^Ftip toes and I ^Gmlooked him in the ^Fchin. I ^Gmsaid "Please pick that litter up and ^Fput it in the ^Gmbin." ^Gm

[Verse 3]

^Gmmountains rose around me for as ^Ffar as I could see, My ^Gmtidy bag was full and I was ^Freally Wombling ^Ebfree. I was ^Gmriding down to De^Fnver on the ^GmColorado Sand^F, And I ^Gmknew I was the Wildest Wooly ^FWomble in the ^Gmland. ^Gm
