Wired
He got the wire
It came from Myna, from BG.
About Loren caught in the crossfire
Margarita tried to poison Billy.
It tore at his heart
That they were apart
He swore to protect
And now through neglect
His sister came to harm.
He was set and packed
When a deputy called him back
Another wire from 3Gun
There seemed cause for alarm.
3Gun was coming with Margarita
And bringing CG, Oh what fun.
Shocked he read CG murdered someone
Her uncle, with a gun.
Now he couldn't go
He had to stay
Sworn by duty
Until they came this way.
In little more than a day
3Gun was there had a lot to say
Ambushed, they took CG
Could Lorne tell them at BG
He had to get out of there
He had no time to spare
Lorne just got done his note
The telegraph officer
Said, "One more, Marshall."
It was from AJ and he wrote.
Marshall Order,
Loren is in desperate need
to see her brother
Come with speed
Her memory she lost.
She's mighty scared.
Wants to leave ASAP
But is unprepared.
Still not steady on her feet
Please wire back when we may meet.
It only took a moment
To think what this may mean
No more BG, and Saloon Singer scene
If she's forgotten and wants to come back home
He can keep her safe as promised,
What an interesting conundrum.
If she's forgotten all about AJ
Loren would have no reason to stay.
He could take her away.
To BG and AJ she'd say Good-bye
And he'd be the hero not the bad guy.
He felt a bit of a nagging guilt
"No use cryin' when the milk's
been spilt."
"At least this time it's not by me.
And I get Loren out of BG.
If only I can could get Myna to see
We could all be together 1, 2, 3"
He sent a wire back
"Be there ASAP
Tell her to wait for me."
I'll bring Loren home
No longer will she roam
And perhaps Myna too
There was only one thing to do.
And now that 3Gun had come and gone
It was time to go and collect Loren
He left instructions for his deputy.
To take Margarita into custody.
He will deal with her
Upon his return
He needed to leave
He had greater concerns
He grabbed a box from under the bed
And unlocked it,
Took out his mother's diamond ring
And slipped it in his pocket.
