Another voice then raised up
It was the doctor of this town
"I've examined the Sheriff's body
But no bullet wound was found"
"Now gentlemen, I advise you
There is something I suspect
if you go and hang this stranger
It'll be something you'll regret "
The crowd became solemn
and took the rope from 'round my neck
Some said "They're sorry
and other's "What the heck"
Some were disappointed
while others were relieved
But, I was glad the doctor was a man
they all believed
I pushed my way through the crowd
to were the doctor had knelt down
He still was searching for a wound
While folks, watching made no sound
But as I stood there looking
something evil came to mind
I told the Doc "Remove his scarf
and see what you might find"
To be continued Monday
Zack says "Have a great weekend"
Heeehawww!
