The Rescue of Hugh
He heard the noise in the street got to his feet
and pushed through the saloon door
A rider moving fast went galloping past
shouting 3Gun's name with a roar
He recognized Dusty from the Bellow's ranch
and the news from the cowboy made him blanch
Hugh had been mauled and was close to death
the story came out in a ragged breath
3Gun got hold of Myna for a blueberry batch
Sent Dusty to doc's for whatever he could scratch
Sang over the Rainbow to fetch his horse
then took off - left a message for CG of course
The ride was long and the trail was dry
an angry sun patrolled the sky
3Gun knew that Hugh was strong
But a bobcat maul - he might be wrong
They spurred their mounts to a frothy lather
soon the ranch came in sight nearing night
they were glad it wasn't any farther
He imagined Dixie prayin' things would be alright
She had dragged him to the door
but couldn't get him to his bed
And she sat there looking helpless
cradling his blood soaked head
The muffins worked their magic
but Hugh was pretty bad
3Gun and Dixie did what they could
with the material they had
3Gun bathed and patched and sewed the cuts
he did it all with no ifs ands or buts
Dixie boiled water and soup to give Hugh strength
and looking better he finally slept at length
