It Didn't Take Long
3Gun glanced up from the jailhouse desk
Little Ron was at the door lookin' pale
'Deputy Brody sent me to get you.
Told me not to fail.' '
What's the trouble? Where's he at?'
'Down at Miss Rue's casino.
He said that man is back in town -
The one you used to know.'
It didn't surprise him to hear the news
Wyler didn't let much time go by
3Gun had asked around, sent some cables
And finally learned the reason why
He and his gang never did leave town
They were here to do a job for pay
And it was Annie doing her reporter snoop
Who passed it on to Buck to say
'Little Ron you get on home.
And don't you dare tell your aunt.
She'll know soon enough I'm sure.
But just right now, she can't.'
3Gun left the jail headed for the casino
A long slow walk through the town
Sharin' a nod and a smile with folks
Not lettin' on what was goin' down
'It's Wyler, he's waitin' inside at the bar.'
Brody stood outside the casino door
'He ain't alone, there's two more with him.
Says he's here to settle a score.'
'Well it ain't gonna happen in Rue's new business.
Tell them when they're ready I'm waitin' outside.
Wyler's gonna pay for shooting Denver
doesn't matter that he never died.'
Brody turned and went inside
3Gun gave a long look around
He didn't want any innocent folks
Near this killing ground
The door flew open and Wyler stepped out
A sneer across his face
'Those'll be the last orders you give
Here or any other place.'
