 Time to hear this incendiary live version of "Out on the Western Plain" by the great Rory Gallagher 🔥

Here below the original, first recorded by epic Lead Belly🎶

  

"When I was a cowboy out on the Western Plain.

When I was a cowboy out on the Western Plain.

Well, I made a half a million,

Working hard on the bridle reins.

Come a cow-cow yicky. come a cow-cow yicky, yicky yea.

What was the greatest battle ever on the Western Plain?

What was the greatest battle ever on the Western Plain?

When me and a bunch of cowboys rode into Jesse James.

Come a cow-cow yicky, come a cow-cow yicky, yicky yea.

Come a cow-cow yicky, come a cow-cow yicky, yicky yea.

Now me and a bunch of cowboys rode into Jesse James.

When me and a bunch of cowboys rodc into Jesse James.

Well, those bullets were a-flying just like a shower of rain.

Come a cow-cow ylcky come a cow-cow yicky, yicky yea.

Come a cow-cow ylcky come a cow-cow yicky, yicky yea.

What was the greatest battle ever on Bunker Hill?

What was the greatest battle ever on Bunker Hill?

When me and a bunch of cowboys rode into Buffalo Bill.

Come a cow-cow yicky, come a cow-cow yicky, yicky yea.

Come a cow-cow ylcky, come a cow-cow yicky, yicky yea..."
