Room for One More
Lorne heard the click of a gun
A bit too late.
"No Billy, wait!"
Billy held the gun to his temple
"I'll make this real simple
open that door
Unless you want to be lying
On the floor!"
Lorne took out his key
And suddenly Rue was free
She tried walking out of the cell
And then suddenly fell
Jasper went to her,
She was on her knees
"What did he do to you,
Ruechari?"
"It wasn't him.
Please,
Stand down, Billy."
Lorne's sister came in to quite a scene
Wondering what it all did mean?
Rue asked,
"Have you sent the message to 3Gun?"
"Yes, it has been done."
Rue looked at Billy
Who was wearing a frown.
"We have to get back to town."
"Rue you're in no condition to ride."
He looked at her with concern
as she clung onto Jasper's side.
"Steel and her gang are gone
We have no idea for how long
The people in the Gulch are in danger..."
"Will someone PLEASE tell me what's going on?"
Marshall Loren had enough
"No need to be in a huff!
His sister did rebuff.
"This woman saved your skin
You have no idea
The trouble you were in."
"There's really no time.
3Gun and the town are in trouble
with Ruby on her way
this makes it double.
Just be thankful you're not dead
And try helping us instead."
"I don't know what has been...
but I won't take orders
from some redskin."
"Suit yourself.
We're done."
Billy put away his gun.
As we walked to the door.
Loren, the Marshall's sister
Said,
"Wait, for one more!"
