Marshal came to town 

his deputy followed too 

knew time was coming soon 

I had trust in my gang

Marshall took us all 

hitched us in his wagon 

our hands tied 

leaving promptly 


Deputy sat next to him up front 

on the lookout


Couple miles out of town 

heard a lot of hoof beats 

I grinned, knowing they had arrived

The Marshall drew his gun at the ready 

he knew what was happening 

The deputy did the same 


Couple guys went to the front 

stopping them in their tracks

they drew their weapons 

a smirk on their faces 

Marshall and Pitts made fast work 

of the men


The rest of the gang 

went around back to get me 

free any other prisoners 

that wanted to escape


Snake Eyes, second in charge, 

picked the locks, making me free 

before giving me a weapon 

Ewell and I only escaped 

The Naked Gunman stayed put

"You two are more skilled than 

I thought" I said 

when I saw Marshall and Pitts 

finishing up 


"You won't get away with this Alexander" Marshall replied 


"Then you should have been more prepared" 

Snake Eyes added before smirking 


My gang and I hopped on our horses 

and rode out 

they got what they came for 

Ewell went in the opposite direction of us 


We hadn't gone too far yet 

Marshall aimed and fired 

hitting me square in the shoulder 

hitting me square in the shoulder

"Miles till next town, he'll bleed out and die before then" 

Marshall said to no one particular 


Pitts chuckled, "I would have wanted him 

to rot in jail but that just makes our life easier."  


Pitts locked up the wagon 

the leftover prisoners too 

before he and Marshall continued 

their path to County
