Morgan Secret Recipe Part 3

The Morgans were having seven guests that night, They had dinner and were drinking peppered ale, The eldest son stood behind his father, The rest of the family retired to bed , The stranger introduced his crew of men to them, First was Billy the Damm, He was a Chicago family man who lost his family by a group of rich boys looking for fun, He took revenged and surrendered to the cops, But the warden freed him and the other five men in the blocks, The word was out to take out their lives without a trial, Big and powerful people who wanted them dead without a fuss, Second was Le Kent from Chinatown, He got mixed up in some triad gang fight with the neighbourhood blacks, His home got burnt down and no one helped, An example for saving a black girl from being raped, He met his tormentors and burnt them all that night, The third is Oak a big black mute who got almost beaten to death by rival gang for kissing one of theirs, She died in his arms trying to save him from a gun shot, He came back a year later and broke the backs of every enemy he knows, And buried them alive in a huge pit twelve in all, It was past three when they all went to bed, But in the snoring of men Two of them were awake and watching over the family, The Stranger at the window looking outside and the fourth man with deadly glaze at his back.
