The Gunslinger

In a town, throbbing in the Wild Wild West
There lived a man better than the rest
It was a legend that as a kid he would never cry
And as a man he could bust up a buster in the wink of an eye.

He had learned the art from his old coot
From holding to slinging to learning to shoot
Till now he had put 23 wanderers in their graves
Well, it did make the Undertaker happy and so he called him brave.

A new Sheriff had come in town
Name McCrust, and he wanted the Gunslinger down
At that tine, duels and slinging were not against the law
But McCrust hated him ad the ladies considered the Gunslinger more raw.

The Gunslinger denied a duel as he wanted to give the Sheriff no reason
To lock or kill or shoot or blow him as a punishment for treason
So the Sheriff caught hold of his cute dame.
Put a gun to her head and on the street shouted his name.

He asked him to show up or he would have pulled the trigger
The Undertaker grew more happy and went to find the digger
The Sheriff said he would count only to three
And then he would let this trigger go free.

The Gunslinger showed up on one but the Sheriff went ahead
Needless to say the dame was shot dead.
Everyone came down hearing the shot to see the show
The Undertaker took the side-bets for each foe.

There were no tears in the eyes of the Gunslinger
A sad music broke out in the background courtesy of the torch singer.
Needless to say the singer was also shot dead.
It proved a lucky day for the Undertaker, now drinking his mead.

The Gunslinger took out McCrust even before he could aim his gun
The duel of revenge was over even before it begun.
The Gunslinger turned his back to the body of McCrust
But McCrust wasn't dead yet, he shot from behind the dust.

The Sheriff had cheated he wore an iron plate over his chest
And he shot a man in the back which was a crime in the West
But the Gunslinger was too wearing and iron plate in the back
He knew the Sheriff would be wearing one and would do a back-attack.

The Gunslinger shot this time on his head
Needless to say the Sheriff was also shot dead.
The people rejoined but then were reminded of the dame
Because of the Undertaker setting a grave in her name.

The Gunslinger went closer to his beloved and looked her in the eyes
Gave her a hand and she took it to everyone's surprise
She too wore an iron plate as the Gunslinger had warned good
And she had played dead, she would have made hell of an actress in Hollywood.

The Gunslinger was cheered and jeered for by all
The Sheriff finally took his final fall
Still his tale is told when anyone hears the call
There lived a Gunslinger-faster, smarter and tall.

Everyone was happy the end except for the Undertaker
He went bankrupt after the Gunslinger left and became a baker
Now his bread and cakes and chocolates are eaten by everyone
His Last Funeral Coco, Coffin cakes and the Tombstone buns.
