Twelve Colic Choked Hoodlums

 

Twelve colic choked hoodlums

Lyin’ around in the grass

They’re hangin’ ‘round Bedford

They’re drunk on their ass

 

Twelve colic choked hoodlums

Lyin’ around in the grass

They’re going to Medford

After bad times have passed

 

The constables are gone

They’ll never come back

They all left Bedford

With their lives in a sack

 

The constables are gone

They’ll never come back

They all went to Medford

On the Northern Train track

 

A gang of old trappers

Hung furs out to dry

They’ll trade them for trinkets

Under a blue prairie sky

 

A gang of old trappers

Hung furs out to dry

They’ll trade them for gold

To anyone who will buy
