By The Campfire Light
Billy searched for O'Boyle all day
and slept in the desert that night
Suddenly his world exploded with fright
The devil Beast jumped out of his camp fire
Flames licking higher
Roaring and kicking him where he lay
His hoofs kicked Billy's wind away
He could do nothing at all
Just roll up into a ball
As quickly as the attack started
it just stopped
No longer the devils target
Away with a grunt and slow run
Billy jumped for his gun
The Beast stopped and turned
Billy pulled hammer and aimed
But could not pull the trigger
He just froze in wonder
Camel walked
stopped
stirred right back
Waited by the desert track
Waited for Billy to follow?
Billy's horse brushed by
"Whoa boy" Billy let out a cry
It just mosied on following the camel
'Get back here you dumb animal.'
No Name ignored trotted by for better or worse
Billy cursed
Then followed his horse
He followed his horse
Who followed the camel
I don't know why
They followed the camel
Perhaps, they'll die.
