 Catch's up


Sweet Lean I think that your Six Star

is lookin' to see where you are?


His head had poked on in

before the Sheriff drank his whiskey

or was it gin?


Highride Ali seen him wanderin'

Just outside the door.


I think we got ourselves a few Newcomers

who want to play some more.


Go take a look

I'll deal a round

We have a new winner

to be crowned.


IF that be your horse,

go and keep him calm.

We'll be but a minute here

Unless the Sheriff drops a bomb


You see we're not sure which

He's rootin' for - gamblin' or no

But one thing we're sure of

He sure wants us to go.


But I still have a score to settle

between Three Gun and me

So I say let's play Go Fish.

The stakes a Limerick

about Six Star, it be.


Five cards are dealt

I hear O'Boyle say,

HighRide Ali I'll have your

eights today.


She smiles at him and says

Go Fish. And so the game goes

on. Until there just Three Gun

And me, lil' Ol' Ruechari.


Each holding just 3 cards

Only two left in the deck

I said gimme them Aces

Three Gun, and then I heard

"Aw heck!"
