Sam's Last Indiscretion

I saw her comin', guitar a hummin, An' a smile on her face lit up the night I said,"My you're pretty, but this ain't the city - You're ridin' alone an' travellin' light." She said,"That I am an' his name was Sam, An' I caught him with some red haired floozie. Gave his keys a toss an' forgot the loss - Went to the bar an' had me a doozie." Well I liked that tale an' since I'm a male I offered to help however I could. She laughed real low, said, "Wherever I go I can always find some cowboy who would." She smiled,"No thanks",then slapped the pony's flanks As she rode off into the pitch black night. I sat on my hoss and pondered this loss, An' wondered at her travellin' so light. Out of the dark came a dog with a bark, An' a sheriff with a frown on his face. Said he'd come far for a gal an' guitar For she'd shot old Sam in a mortal place. Well,I said,"No, - I didn't see her go." An' was thankful she hadn't stayed the night. He had no clue what that woman could do While playin' guitar an' travellin' light. 9/19/2017
