The Wagon Rolled

CrazyGoose and stannbear helped 3Gun load the Gold

And the trio left the saloon heading for Lean

Over the rutted street the wagon rolled

They all considered the action and what it would mean


Whoever made the drugs would know

They never got where they were supposed to go

And now they would have nothing to show

Plus be really upset over the loss of dough


Lean hobbled aboard with her garden trowel

And took a ribbing from the rest

"It's not potting we're doing."

She kept her retort suppressed


Out of town they drove to find a place 

A place that no one else would likely find

And dug a pit that would leave no trace

Of anything they left behind


They lit the fire and drove away

CrazyGoose had nothing to say

Her face was covered with a mask of hay

She said would filter anything blowing her way


After a while they returned to the spot

Filled in the hole with shovels they'd brought

Used Lean's trowel to hide the place

And headed back to town at a leisurely pace
