With forty pesos
whistling a merry tune
O'Boyle entered the saloon
For some Irish lemonade
And a bit of funHe stopped
When he saw the Barman
Brandishing a shot gun
Four Dusty men
Armed and mean
Faced the business end
"Get goin friend!"
The meanest threatened
"Or you'll wind up dead."
O'Boyle smiled
The four saw
O'Boyles hand ready for the draw
"Get going!"
Barman ordered cocking both barrels.
"Let's go boys. His loss having morals."
The meanest order
"We'll sell our property across the boarder."
The four
Backed out the door
Scrambled onto their horses
And galloped away
"Friendly bunch of amegos"
O'Boyle did say
"Nothing but low down comancheros."
Spat the Barman putting shot gun away
"Wanted to sell me two whores a mother and daughter. Took all I got from losing my temper!"
O'Boyle mosey down on a stool.
"This west nothing but cruel"
The barman said
"Yeah did good helping me."
"You earned this bottle of whiskey."
"Just don't tell folks I gave it for free."
O'Boyle smiled
"Your secret is save with me."
Not often the outlaw gets to play the hero
By second glass he spotted the sombrero
Figured left behind by comanchero
Losers weepers he said
And placed cheekily on his head
A strange feeling
Came stealing
As the room started reeling
A vison
Started
Revealing......
