Fallin' from his horse
with a bullet in his back
Fallin' from his horse
with a bullet in his back
He's takin' a bullet
Wild Oklahoma Jack

The wife is cryin'
with a baby in her womb
The wife is cryin'
with a baby in her womb
She's standin' at the graveyard
By her lovely husbands tomb

A baby boy is born
In a cabin by the lake
A baby boy is born
In a cabin by the lake
His mother gives a smile
Though she's barely awake

The mother dies in childbed
A baby boychild screams
The mother dies in childbed
A baby boychild screams
An orphan little boy
With dark blue eyes that gleams
