Outlaws' Spirits In Tombstone

Each day in Tombstone as tourists watch The OK Corral gunfight plays out Reenactments staged by the locals The Earps always prevail in this bout Saunter down to the Bird Cage Theater Now a museum in this Old West town Actors aren’t needed to play roles The original cast is still around Sixteen gunfights caused 26 deaths Poker players who were dealt bad hands Tourists still hear the shuffling of cards And music from the piano man Gunshots, images captured on tape Dancehall girls still perform on the stage Scents of old ale cling to dusty walls And card game losers express their rage Doc Holliday and Clanton Brothers Look on as Wyatt holds all the cards Virgil, Morgan glare at the McLaurys Lawmen and outlaws send their regards Spirits may rise from nearby Boot Hill To visit the Bird Cage for a while Delighting modern-day visitors With a taste of history, Tombstone-style To learn more about the Bird Cage Theater hauntings and see photos, visit http://www.ghost- trackers.org/birdcage.htm
