The Old 5y Ranch (Muling Drugs) Part 2

It was just a "Front", that most were supposed to see Not a stud on the place, just "mystery donkeys" Some days they were there, then just up and disappear Maybe this is the reason this happened to me? But it all had to do with the "magic donkeys" For a long time it was a secret, then it got real clear For several days the burros would have nothing to eat Then Sawford had pack saddles, they all got one About sundown the donkeys were driven to the border To a group of Mexican drug smugglers they were to meet Pack saddles loaded with silver ingots and pot for the next sun It was a shipment made to order At the barn, Sawford had the troughs loaded with waiting hay At the border the drug smugglers would turn the burros loose Like "homing pigeons" the donkeys came at a lope Told the law, "Well them old donkeys have gone astray" It worked until they got his neck in a noose And Sawford fan out of rope The silver was melted down, Sawford had a coin stamping machine Making silver dollars as fast as he could And the law never figured how the burros got there Sawford swore up and down, "Dangest thing that I have ever seen" "Why those bugger must have winged it here on a prayer" He went to the pen and it did him no good All ranches have a tale to tell, so does the old 5Y But this one never will die, and it lives to this day And that is a shame But this is why? The 5Y turned out this way And where the term, "muling drugs' got it's name
