Doc Vale hi-tails (theoldPoet)

under darkness of night

Doc Vale did ride

had to get out of town

to save his hide


with Carob Bob gone

and several more dead

he feared for his life

a bullet in the head


with 3Gun now in charge

the town now his

no place for Doc Vale

time to find Long Leg Liz


for certain she would know

where Carob Bob ran

she would show him

the lay of the land


but he feared what the trade

for the info might be

Liz did not come cheap

and she didn't care for currency


for she wanted more

than a gold coin or two

she wanted the souls

of the person too


Busted Gulch now a speck

on the desert's brown sand

Doc Vale hi-tailed

across the dry land
