They said I gotta write some things down But I don’t liketa write and what can I say. I disappointed my Mama and I’m real sorry for that I tried to stop once, I truly did. But it was so much fun. I enjoyed cowboyin’, and all the guys too They called us The Wild Gang. Them months in jail was not any fun. I promised 'em that I’d be good, but The banks was there, the trains was there They called to me and I had to answer 'em I don’t feel bad for them that died. They all had it comin’ I finally got tired of bein’ chased, And me and Sundance tried to lay low, But there wasn't no place to hide any more. Both Robbers Roost and Hole in the Wall was known to all. And them dad-blamed Pinkertons was ev'rywhere. So we lit out on a boat, and Etta tagged along. San Vicente was pretty, but the bank was a’callin’ Nothin’ else we could do but hit it. Hiding didn’t work out so well that time. All in all I think going to Bolivia was a big mistake That’s about all I got to say. -Butch
My pittiful attempt to take part in the challenge set up by Thomas W Case and BLT to create a poem written by a historical figure. The funnest part was reading up on him.
