Banditos We went out at dawn riding hard on the trail. Posse right behind us for three sacks of mail. We hit the train for money letters and such all we got. Now, just three hours ahead of getting hung or shot. Horses steamed and blowing hard against morning mist. Hounds baying off down wind for mail, all is risked. Hard tack and water going down at high-speed. Saddle takes another bite it's rest we all need. We'll be looking back for the rest of our days. Why, good Lord, didn't we listen to what our Mama had to say? "Ride hard, boys; I love you! you're done before you start." She said; " ride em hard, boys you're gonna break my heart! " And now we are a running all for three sacks of mail. Guess we should give up then die our turn in jail. Just now; we're full gallop riding hard to rising sun. Bro, it's been fun and real But sure as hell; not real fun! bleeding... "Tis ink coming from his arm, Captain!" |
