The White Man

He was young, Had his guns on his hip. Walkin the streets, With a cigar on his lip. The town folk were scared, They knew what he could do. They have seen what he done, To a chosen few. The leather he wore, Was stained from the powder of his gun. A sign of the battles, That the slinger had won. A family moved in, That no one knew. A white man, And a wife that was sious. The young man decided, The lady would not survive. Because of her color, She would die. In the street, In the middle of town, This is where the slinger, Where he gunned her down. The white man, Anger in his eyes, Decided to give the slinger, A surmise. Leave this town, Be gone by noon at best, Or feel a bullet from my gun, Deep in you'r chest. The slinger smiled, I am too fast, You are an ole man, You'r time has past. You'r time has come ole man, Take you'r stand, But I tell you now, Better have a fast hand. When the smoke cleared, The slinger lay on the ground, With the white man, looking down. The slinger had just one last request, How did you learn to shoot that way? The white man answered, I'm the son of Doc Holiday.
