"Step right up
And give it a go!
Ladies and gentlemen
Prepare for a show!
With my elixir,
You'll see oh so fine!
Step right up!
Who will be first in line?
A man makes his way
To the front of the stage.
"I only have one question,
How is it made?"
The man shakes his head
And smiles with pride
"It's an old family secret,
I cannot tell you what contents
Are held inside!"
But it costs a shilling
And not a cent more;
This is a deal
You shouldn't throw out your door!"
"But What's the trick?
What is the catch?"
"To Prove you are quick!
And the others are no match!
But i will agree,
You'll want me to prove!
Watch and you'll see,
Your aiming improve!"
The pistol is fired,
The hat is thrown in the air!
No more enjoyment
Would one find there!
The pistols fired,
The lead hits the hat!
What more excitement
Would you feel rather than that!
"How is it done?
How can it be?"
Asks the mammoth crowd
Gathered as far as the eye can see.
Amongst them there,
In the crowd A man stood
None other than Mister Hardin
Who was up to no good.
"You're a fraud," said he.
"It is easy to tell!
You're quite the schemer,
And I'll send you to hell!"
The pistol is fired,
As death fills the air
Twas the last time
That Johnny did not play fair.
