Stuart Watkins
Stranger rode into town on a horse that was rode hard
kept turning his head and looking around
ghosts, sheriff, or vigilantes might be on his trail
couldn’t tell for sure, but he had worry on his face
Looped the reins over a hitching post and turned again
strode inside the Palace Saloon with thirst on his mind
cowboys gave him a glance then turned to look away
poker, whiskey, and relaxing was their game
Stranger sidled up to the bar and put his money down
glanced over at the swinging saloon doors
drank his beer and ordered more of the same
time passed and soon the stranger was forgot
Wyatt Earp strode in and took in the scene
with two huge strides he was beside the man
pistol whipped him and knocked him to the floor
Billy the Kid left Tombstone to return no more.
Some say Billy would have beat him to the draw
some say Wyatt should have shot him dead
others say that a blow to the head
was better than filling him up with lead.
