George Bittercreek Newcomb (Larry w. Jones 06/07/2008) (song#5481)Once there lived a wild west Texas cowboyAnd George Bittercreek Newcomb was his nameHe was born in Kansas in old Fort ScottBut out to west Texas is where he cameNow, George was his Daddy's favorite sonHis Mama said he was her pride and joyBut he was a wild west Texas cowboyT'was at an early age that George left homeAnd out west to the Long S Ranch he roamedNow, Texas John Slaughter was the ownerIt's said he treated George Newcomb quite wellBut George was a loner, soon a gonerDrifted up to Oklahoma, his ployCause he was a wild west Texas cowboyOne day on the prairie, George rode alongListnin' to a mockin' bird sing his songUp rode the Dunn brothers with sister RoseRose Dunn was their decoy, the story goesThe Dunn brothers meant to kill and destroyGeorge was a west Texas outlaw cowboyHe was a west Texas outlaw cowboyThrow down your gun, we're four brothers to oneSurrender to the law, the law has wonBut George drew his pistol, often employedI'll fight, said the wild west Texas cowboyGeorge fired a shot at Calvin, four fired backDal, Bee and Bill loaded George on a wagonLooked like a bullet riddled gunny sackOnce there lived a wild west Texas cowboyHe was a member of the Wild Bunch gangAnd George Bittercreek Newcomb was his nameGeorge Bittercreek Newcomb was his name George "Bittercreek" Newcomb
