  • Emerson - Lake)
  • Wicked Josie rode away
  • In the sunset covered sky
  • A lynching mob had strung his friend up
  • Right before his eyes
  • He didn't know what they'd both done
  • He sure as hell would end up one
  • A hot tin notch on the sheriff's gun
  • If he didn't move on
  • Get out of here
  • The sheriff followed Josie's journey
  • >From Kansas in the West
  • He said he'd put a bullet right
  • Through poor old Josie's chest
  • But Josie wasn't like the rest
  • He don't like bullet holes in his vest
  • In fact he'd do his very best
  • Don't want any arrest
  • Don't want to be the guest
  • Of the sheriff
  • The nights got so damned cold
  • He couldn't stand the pace
  • He looked again for sheriff's men
  • But couldn't see the chase
  • Josie found a nice warm place
  • But then the sheriff solved the case
  • Hoped to find Josie's face
  • And said lookie here...
  • Sheriff rode him into town
  • With Josie look inside
  • He didn't know about the six-gun
  • Wicked Josie had
  • Then Josie drew his gun real fast
  • Gave the sheriff one big blast
  • And Josie was a song at last
  • A legend from the past
  • Nobody ever messed with the sheriff
