Poem
A June Night in Rotgut Saloon In walked Lefty Red behind him lay many dead into this old dusty town his tired horse had tread Well known his draw was quick as lightning his stare deadly cold and so very frightening Stranger where is the nearest watering hole getting drunk and riled up is my goal Ahead 120 paces is our old Rotgut saloon enter there and you'll get your wish soon Lefty Red , cold, bitter and as hard as granite entered and saw a scene like he had planned it Crowd was loud, rowdy as hell and so very drunk beer and whiskey flowing , an odor foully stunk Give me a beer and two shots of your best redeye send over that sweet blonde philly that I spy Barkeep did exactly as he was very sternly told That philly's man was none other than Billy Cold Billy Cold that had 7 carved notches on his gun even once cut a man slowly to death just for fun The stare sent a hard and well understood reply want this har' woman , get her , jest you try Lefty Red knocked down whiskey shots and his beer spun around to show a fastdraw rig , he had no fear Billy wasted not a second to make his best play drawed his 45 to make that insulting Lefty Red pay As his hammer was so very quickly cocked back his ears heard a loud booming pistol crack A huge hole suddenly tore open in his chest a mistake, for Lefty Red was always the very best Body was calmly , swiftly and carefully taken away nothing new, this was like just about any other day Lefty told the piano man to shut up and play a tune time for the pretty saloon girl and getting drunk soon Townfolks remember so very well that hot June day Lefty Red had tested Billy Cold and made him pay Forty-five slug and justice had caught up with that man as Lefty Red had for seven, long searching years planned 07-08-2014
