Lyrics

There was an outlaw when the west was young and restless
He was born and raised in Little Creek, west Texas
But he only grew to three foot two and folks thought that was funny
Til he robbed the bank and got away with everybody's money

Chorus:
He's the Itty Bitty Outlaw, he wears a colt .44
His getaways are slow because his pistol drags the floor
And the sheriff cried Shoot lower, boys, he's on a Shetland Pony
While the Itty Bitty Outlaw got away with all their money

There was a damsel in distress near Silver City
Folks made fun of her cause she was itty bitty.
Somehow she found salvation from a Texas outlaw man
Together they made history north and south of the Rio Grande

Chorus:
They're the Itty Bitty Outlaws, he wears a Colt .44
Their getaways are slow because his pistol drags the floor
And the sheriff cried "Shoot lower, boys, they're riding Shetland ponies
While the Itty Bitty Outlaws got away with all their money

They thought they had em trapped up in Missouri
Then I heard that they was caught near Albuquerque
But they slipped right through their fingers, just like they always told em
There ain't a jail in all the west that's small enough to hold 'em.

Chorus:
They're the Itty Bitty Outlaws, he wears a Colt .44
Their getaways are slow because his pistol drags the floor
And the sheriff cried 'Shoot lower, boys, they're riding Shetland ponies
While the Itty Bitty Outlaws got away with all their money
