The Only Good Enemy

here be en emimy of tombstone jack his eminy tried to shoot em back but ole jack made em see the light he done it fastr en he done it right jack showd em the errer to his ways he sure enoff put the end to his days jack doe sent em to his eternal bed with six guns ablazin en a heap of lead Im aguessin he wanted em dead at least that be what the rumerin said now ole jack he done hisself a goodin he done left the bar maid a cryin en wooin worrin hed be alayin here a bullit ta his head pushin up dayzes instead of winin a trade in lead Author's Note: the spelling, grammatical errors, and the dialect are done intentionally. It is my attempt to keep within the 1800's era writing style. A writer of that time was lucky to be able to write their own name.
