who was the owner of a dark saloon

This dude approached me and asked me if I was up for a fight
Answered “sure, why not”
Punched him on the snout
Last time he'll try funny business with an armored knight...

at noon fit to fly
and slurred “Wh-which way’s the saloon?”

In hopes Santa would retire him soon
But the young one's red nose winks

skipping along round bout noon
humming a happy tune
thinking about my best gal June
just makes my heart swoon
we'll meet at Murphy's saloon

Which Cowboy bites dust tomorrow at noon,
Fighting duel to end, to death the tune,
The sun at noon shows no glare,
Bystanders, time of day fair,
Outside the saloon, a hot day in June.
