Aftermath
Tex Mex was dead
No more to be said
No other fatality
That we could see
Bruce was still in doubt
Not yet up and about
Those who 'knew' Billy
Didn't ask - it was silly
Clean up had started
Wagons of rubble departed
The men arrived strong willed
The task a jail to rebuild
Unger and Bellows came that day
BuckBuchanan and newcomer
Solomon Ray
Told Pastor Stein, don't be upset
The church'll get new roof yet
Muffins arrived with lemonade
Energy food all freshly made
3Gun appeared as if by magic
To miss out would have been tragic
Dirt and clay, straw and sand
Adobe bricks were made by hand
When all went as planned
The new jail would be grand
Meanwhile a race was heating
Little groups all were meeting
Dreamin' up slogans and promises fair
Makin' plans for the town's new mayor
Lorne Order was first of course
Then Dixie Land a dark horse
And a surprising bureaucrat
Will Barter tossed in his hat
3Gun gave them all a speech
About how the rules applied to each
But there better be truth in what they say
Or by gum there'd be hell to pay
