A Dog Story
A Dog Story
Back in Old El Paso,
In a bar room they did meet;
Two cowboys decided to have it out,
In the middle of a downtown street.
The ladies hustled into their homes,
The men all gathered round,
Old Jake accused Old Jesse
Of stealing his three-legged hound.
Eye to eye they stood stiff as posts,
One to be the first shot down;
When that three-legged dog found Jesse's leg
And a red-faced Jesse looked down.
Old Jake doubled up in laughter,
And the town men followed suit real hard.
No one got shot or killed that day,
And Jesse got his just reward!
