Big Bart and Little Ed

G BART AND LITTLE ED
Big Bart was a mean guy killed people just for fun
First he’d stab em with a knife then shoot em with his gun
Little Ed was a shy guy the nicest you ever saw
Till that day came when Big Bart killed his paw
Bart came from the badlands down New Mexico way
Said he once killed a man for not saying hay
Ed didn’t like trouble his dad raised him right
Never did he have a reason to get mad or get in a fight
Big Bart walked into a saloon and told everybody to leave
And said that guy dealing the cards has an ace up his sleeve
Little Ed walked into the saloon told Bart he was gonna take him down
Told him to meet him in the street or leave this town
Big Bart and Little Ed faced each other ready to make a draw
Big Bart just laughed at Ed and said here I am the law
They fired thirty shots at each other all thirty missed
They shot the town to pieces and the mayor was pissed
Then out of no where a shot rang out in the air
Bart just laughed at people running like he didn’t have a care
Then all of a sudden Big Bart feel to his knees
Yelled I’ve been shot somebody help me please
Nobody knows who fired the shot that took Big Bart down
But now Little Ed is the sheriff of that town
