What To Do?
Shamus made it to the saloon.
This will all be over soon.
He order some Irish whiskey.
He had some time to kill
And was feeling frisky.
There was a girl who sung
A song about Lemontrees
and Hammocks slung
It was a sweet song
About love and romance
Falling hard at a glance
He walked right on over
To this sweet four leaf clover
He threw some bills into her case
He had to admit he liked her face
"So do ya have a name?"
"Loren," she said
handing him back
his money again.
"I get paid from Crooked Smile."
"I was just hoping to talk
for awhile a little while."
Loren gave him a smile
"Thanks, but I'm taken."
"I sure do like how ya sing
And I don't see no ring."
Buck tried to stay behind
He knew she declined
He hoped Shamus would
Just walk away.
But Shamus kept trying
Though his attempts were dying.
Finally,
"Shamus, she belongs to AJ."
"You say that name
Like it's attached to fame
But it makes no difference to me."
"A friend of yours, Buck?"
He just ran out of luck.
"Lou's divorcee."
"Is that so?
Then I think you should go."
"I'll leave when I'm ready."
"I told you Lou had friends."
"And this is where it ends.
Buck, why don't ya come with me?"
"I think I'm good here thanks!"
"That's fine. I will find Lou
And when I do..."
"You'll do what?
I'd love to know."
Lou picked the worst time to show.
Shamus reached in his pocket.
Buck dove at Lou, yelling , "No!"
