I was riding the prairie, when out of the blue I could see
There were two dozen indians starting to close up on me
There was no place I could run, and I never carry a gun
So I cried for help

And along came Hopalong Cassidy, Maverick and Billy the Kid
I'd have been lost if they hadn't shown up as they did
And there was even Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill, Jesse James
And three hundred cavalry, but I can't remember their names

I was safe in my cabin and thinking of going to bed
When an Indian tomahawk stuck in the wall by my head
I looked through the window and saw there were three thousand Indians or more
So I cried for help

And along came Hopalong Cassidy, Maverick and Billy the Kid
I'd have been lost if they hadn't shown up as they did
And there was even Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill, Jesse James
And three hundred cavalry, but I can't remember their names

One day I was caught and was taken to see Running Bear
But we got on so well that he told me that I could stay there
And according to Indian law, I could have me a choice of a squaw
I needed no help!

And along came Hopalong Cassidy, Maverick and Billy the Kid
I'd have been fine if they hadn't shown up as they did
And there was even Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill, Jesse James
And three hundred cavalry, but I can't remember their names
