The Ballad of Frank and NWAT

Frank had been in town a while

But he wasn't dressed in style

When at last the zip he freed

It came in time, before he p.....


Cactus suit fell to the floor

He hang it on the hook on door

Picture in the local paper

Put an end to cacti caper


BG was a mystery


Sheriff had found

4 crates of winchesters

thought it was bad

He said this is sinister


Ready to leave

Frank had his horse saddled

But then he saw this NWAT girl

whose mind seemed slightly addled


Girl, Frank said, this is not fun

I'm through with all this trading guns

Come over here and we will talk

You don't say much - here use this chalk


NWAT drew a windmill on the side of Frank's black stallion

That's nice, he smiled , excuse me can I see your gold medallion


Slowly NWAT handed him the necklace with a clasp

They looked inside and there behold the picture made him gasp

A girl that looked like NWAT,

but younger, such a thrill

Caus underneath, inscribed in blue, it said 'To our girl Sue'

'From Ma and Pa (don't forget to brush your teeth)


Sue looked up into Franks eyes, a NWAT now no more

She whispered, please stop shooting birds

I can't abide the gore


Could you build a windmill Frank

It might provide a living

You could grind the grain for flour

and I could do the sieving


Hey that's not a bad idea

I'm going to find the wood

I'm bored with always shooting men

I'm going to do some good
