From out of the East she came riding side saddle She was looking for romance way out West She came into town smelling of roses And wearing a dress that was covered in frills
Into the saloon she daintily walked It went so quiet you could hear a pin drop The men all stared with eyes like saucers And the women glared with envious hearts
The worst affected was the roughest of all His chin was dragging along the floor He could shoot the wings of a fly at a distance But come to ladies he was as clumsy as hell
He stuttered and choked just saying his name While she stood there waiting patiently At last he managed so she understood That this was the man they called Bundango
A man that was feared by one and all Who smiled while he slowly killed you A rattlesnake’s poison meant nothing to him He’d bite off it’s head and chew it
She held out her hand for him to kiss And his heart almost gave up beating The Cuban cigar between his lips Forgotten hit the floor sizzling
It’s sad to say that she had done Where no-one else had succeeded She tamed the beast, this man Bundango Now a gentleman of the West
