Oh, Buck! (Ruechari)

Oh, Buck!

Lou was still seething about the

would be kiss

She deliberately turned so

Buck would miss

This ride had her

Nerves on edge

She was wishing she brought

Billy instead.


All they did was argue and fight

It made for a very long night

Now exhausted and not at her peake

She had someone she had to seek. 


Shady Shamus would be at the saloon

Always here at a quarter to noon

"You are to stay out of sight.

You're no good to me if we get in a fight."


She'd seen Buck's pout

And before they could go another bout.

"I don't want you to go on the attack.

If I don't make it back

The information I've found so far

is in my pack." 


"Promise me you'll get to BG.

Promise you'll help CG."

Buck did so,

albeit it reluctantly.


Lou stepped into the Rusty Spur

It only took him a moment

To recognize her. 


Shady Shamus saunter on over

With a sly grin

"Well Hallo me, Lover.

Where 'ave you been?"

He grabbed her around the waist

Tilted up her chin


"Oh, don't look at me like that, Love.

You knew what would happen if

push came to shove."


"Not even I believed you'd sink that low."



He kissed her hard but it was all for show

He kissed her hard but it was all for show.

Shamus noticed the Scott standin' at the door

Lookin' like he's readyin' for war.

Though she tried to push him away

In Shamus' arms she was made to stay


"You did me wrong, Lou and

now I have nothin' left to say.

'Cept now you know somebody

Has got to pay."


Buck had enough he charged right in

Shamus went and grabbed her chin

Turned her face, sayin',

"Let's start with him."


Several men rose from their seats

Rough and ready, all packing heat

Lou just gave a small sigh

"Why couldn't you stay put?

Why, why, why?"
