Please
Rue saddled up Krackle
She didn't know what to do
She worried about CG
As she stashed the letter for Aunt Sue
"I know that look.
"What's going on Rue?"
"I want you to stay
I know she said, "Okay",
But..."
"Uh-uh Rue, No way!
3Gun's got this
He'll make sure
She comes to no harm."
"How? By laying on his charm?"
Even Billy scoffed at this.
Rue put Myna's locket
In her inner pocket.
"Please Billy? Do this for me?
If anything happened to CG..."
He saw the tears
She refused cry
Threatening to spill from her eye.
"You're killing me, Rue.
What if something
were to happen to you?
I don't know...
I don't know what I'd do."
Rue begged, "Please?"
Billy sighed.
"You're bringing me to my knees.
Take this."
He put into her hands
his handkerchief.
She placed it around her neck.
"You fall into any trouble
You send it back to me
on the double."
"I will. Thank you"
To her horse she did alight.
"Remember,
Stay out of sight."
"Don't worry.
Just hurry
And cure this Bigbee
And come back to me."
He watch her ride out of town
Wearin' on his face a frown.
"Okay CG,
Let's just see
How long it takes you
To ditch the sheriff
You supposedly cherish."
"I don't envy you, 3Gun.
This is definitely not
how the West was won.
What have we two gunslingers become?"
