[00:31.71] Wicked josie rode away
[00:35.69] In the sunset covered sky
[00:38.52] A lynching mob had strung his friend up
[00:41.20] Right before his eyes
[00:44.18] He didn't know what they'd both done
[00:46.73] He sure as hell would end up one
[00:49.48] A hot tin notch on the sheriff's gun
[00:51.97] If he didn't move on
[00:54.42] Get out of here
[00:58.15] The sheriff followed josie's journey
[01:00.36] >from kansas in the west
[01:03.50] He said he'd put a bullet right
[01:05.75] Through poor old josie's chest
[01:08.72] But josie wasn't like the rest
[01:11.41] He don't like bullet holes in his vest
[01:14.20] In fact he'd do his very best
[01:16.67] Don't want any arrest
[01:19.26] Don't want to be the guest
[01:21.62] Of the sheriff
[01:23.24] The nights got so damned cold
[01:25.30] He couldn't stand the pace
[01:27.86] He looked again for sheriff's men
[01:30.36] But couldn't see the chase
[01:33.21] Josie found a nice warm place
[01:36.00] But then the sheriff solved the case
[01:38.96] Hoped to find josie's face
[01:41.43] And said lookie here...
[02:23.50] Sheriff rode him into town
[02:27.30] With josie look inside
[02:29.99] He didn't know about the six-gun
[02:32.80] Wicked josie had
[02:35.57] Then josie drew his gun real fast
[02:38.30] Gave the sheriff one big blast
[02:41.20] And josie was a song at last
[02:43.58] A legend from the past
[02:46.31] Nobody ever messed with the sheriff
