Cactus Jack

[Intro]
Now listen kids, here's a sad little song
About a poor cowboy whose life went wrong
And there's a lesson too, that's for free
You can pay me back when you're 93

[Verse 1]
Cactus Jack, Cactus Jack
Fell off his horse in a cactus patch
27 needles stuck in his back
Poor old Cactus Jack
Crying out loud, crying out loud
Cries all night like a homesick cow
Scared it'll hurt if he pulls them out
Poor old Cactus Jack

[Chorus]
Cactus Jack, Cactus Jack
If he comes your way better ease on back
Cactus Jack, Cactus Jack
A big big baby and that's a fact
Don't you dare, don't you dare
Touch them needles, you'll wake a bear
Jimmy did once and he lost one ear
Mean old Cactus Jack

[Verse 2]
Sun to moon, night or noon
He drowns his sorrows at the 'Coon Saloon
If he's drinking root bear, give him room
Mad old Cactus Jack
See him cry, my oh my
Frown on his face like his dog just died
Don't even smile when he eats peach pie
Sad old Cactus Jack

[Chorus]
Cactus Jack, Cactus Jack
If he comes your way better ease on back
Cactus Jack, Cactus Jack
Mean as a cat in a burlap sack
Dang it hurts, dang it hurts
He took some scissors and fixed his shirt
He cut little holes where the needles were
Silly Cactus Jack

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Okay now listen here, listen here
Don't let thorns fester years and years
Prickly words or prickly pears
Learn from Cactus Jack
Pull them out, pull them out
Bite your bullet, it's fine to shout
A few stings now or a lot to pout
Learn from Cactus Jack

[Chorus}
Cactus Jack, Cactus Jack
If he comes your way better ease on back
Cactus Jack, Cactus Jack
A mean mean man and that's a fact
Pull them out, you got to pull them out
Bite that bullet, scream and shout
A few tears now or a lot to pout
Learn from Cactus Jack
A few tears now or a lot to pout
Learn from Cactus Jack
