AJ's revenge
They arrived at dusk
horses lathered and tired
confirmed with others
that Carson was fired
Mo as promised
brought 3Gun and Billy
they needed a plan
not somethin' willy nilly
Mo said the old barn
with the lights
was where Carson
always staged his fights
He and his crew
would be there now
as to takin' them down
the question was how
"Head on," said Billy
checkin' his gun.
"Inside the barn
where there's no chance to run."
They walked to the barn
heard the cheering inside
pushed open the doors
and the noise all died
There were ten men in the barn
and a makeshift ring
but no sign of AJ . . .
not a good thing
Arnie Carson barked a laugh
and called to Burt, his brother
"This here's the Sheriff of BG,
not sure who's the other."
"Well they brought Mo back,
guess they saw the light.
Get in the ring, Mo.
Let's see you fight."
"Hang on there, pardner.
We're here for AJ
and none of you fellers
better get in the way."
"Oyl take 'im, Carson,"
said the big Irish lug.
"Sure'n this Mo mug's
one pitiful pug."
Two swagger steps forward
then stopped in his track
Mo laid out the Irishman
flat on his back
Mo's lip was bleeding
but just from a scratch
The unconscious Irishman
had been no match
Out came the guns
Arnie ran for the door
3Gun and Billy
each got four
Outside they heard screamin'
and rushed out to see
AJ had Carson
down on one knee
Some whispered words
and AJ did a spin
His lightning fast kick
broke Carson's chin
The men all embraced,
a job well done
They could all head back home now,
no more need to run
