DmOn a small MissFouri farm
Back Cwhen the West was Fyoung

That A#Frank and Jesse Cfinally learned to Fkill

Keep on Dmriding, Criding, Friding
A#Frank and Jesse FJames
Keep on Dmriding, Criding, Friding
UnA#til you clear your Fnames
Keep on Dmriding, Criding, Friding
Across the A#rivers and the Fplains
Keep on Dmriding, Criding, Friding
A#Frank and... JessDme James
