has soaked through the bandage
But these old country doctors
From the cowboys that come
Now starin' at the ceilin',
I'm tryin' to get my senses
at that bull we call Chisum
As they turned us out of chute
Someone's brought the paper,
and I'm starin' unbelievin'
At the story that's laid out
It talks about you Chisum,
how they brought you up from Texas
a valiant seven- second ride
It mentions how you broke your leg when
And it talks about your horn in my side
Chisum (Chisum), Chisum (Chisum) well I love you,
Your hide was tough and it was scarred
Well, my spurs have dug in deep,
Chisum, I tell you all my ridin'
