Bronco Don and Bally Watson

Bronco Don Johnson and Bally Watson... Oh they speak of Bally Watson and the Dirran boys don't laugh... Yet they tell in whispers how his ear was shot in half... Old Bronco Don had shot him for everyone to see... Witnesses could not be found though the coppers asked all three... Bally he bolted, drove fast to get away... For a bullet had his number, safer up old Mitchell way... Yes it was in the fifties an old soldier got a win... Don was locked up for the night for the drunken driving sin... Don had been to Kokoda and the Middle East war too... He was quick on the trigger mate and never missed, they knew.... A mob had come to bash him, back in nineteen forty five... Dons down the stairs a shooting quick, they were glad to be alive... 7 years had come and gone, Bally appeared they say... Sent word he wanted to see old Don out the Culgoa river way... Mark John went as backup a rifle in his hand... Mark did cover the drovers, shoot low was the command... Bally got no permission was told to stay away... Just bypass the town is what old Don did say... So Bally is known throughout the west ... the earmark worn by him... The Sheriff really did his best ... To make his ear hole ring... When you get a car door slammed on your head ?.. Broken cheek bone!... You might get tempted to shoot a man dead ...perhaps..... ..Don Johnson Pickles met a woman in town who complained about him saying she needed a martingale to keep her head down . (Horsemen and women will know a martingale has a connection to the bridle to stop a horse jerking up its head sometimes possibly smacking the rider in the nose. Also it looks better if the horse doesn't do a Giraffe impression .) So pickles said no missus I said you would need 2 martingales to keep your head down, one just wouldn't do the trick. One of the Dirranbandi characters Jack Laughton was heard to utter with a grin , how would you like that old bat to fart on your last cup of flour?
