The Gunfight

There's gonna be a gunfight

Out there in the street

All the stores closed early

To see who would be beat

 

The gunfighters got ready

Neither would back down

Each one gave the other

24 hours to leave town

 

Bifocal bill was ready

He said " That drunkards gonna pay !"

Then stood there shouting " Draw ya punk "

Facing the wrong way !!

 

The Whisky Kid stepped into sight

And staggered about the place

He looked bill up and down a while

Then fell down on his face !!

 

The crowd stood waiting eagerly

And as they booed and hissed

Bill squeezed off the first shot

To no surprise .. he missed !

 

The whisky kid then stood up.. swore

Cursed .. some foul abuse

Then called to bill " i need a drink !

" howz about we call a truce ?

 

Bill fired his gun repeatedly

Bullets spun off left and right

The whisky kid fell on the ground

The crowd went silent at this sight

 

The whisky kid just lay there

With a bottle in his hand

Bill grinned and said " The kid is dead !

But he was just too drunk to stand

 

The sheriff said " i guess that's that "

And as they turned to go

Bill's gun slipped from it's holster

And blew off his big toe !!.
