Big Doin's in Busted Gulch

Well the stage from Rickety came roarin' in

Once or twice a year is all it's bin

But for the folks in town it's a celebration

What did it bring is the burning question


There was lots of stuff for the dry goods store

Clothes, tools, pots and pans

Items folks had never seen before

And mail some had been waiting for


An entertainer and her manager,

hoping for the train

A drummer with a suitcase

full of everything you could name


The driver needin' horses

to replace a tired team

They were leavin' in the mornin'

for Oh Aces it would seem


The lady entertainer and her agent took a room

The driver began stories about Destiny and doom

3Gun bought him drinks

listening to the doom and gloom


The drummer set up, displayin' all his wares

The farmers left, the cowboys stirred

the blacksmith said, 'Nobody cares.'


3Gun bought a shot glass
