Steamboat Rescue Plan
Denver had a plan worked out for the Belle
to trap it in the marsh and take it back
How it goes, time soon would tell
when they make their surprise attack
Brody, Billy and Myna and 3Gun sat in the jail
They worked on a plan for the steamboat Hutch
Preventing it from helping the Belle, they couldn't fail
It only had a skeleton crew so it shouldn't take much
They'd start out just before sunset, arrive at dusk
Following the boat close behind
When the Indians paddled out, they'd quickly board
That's how the plan was designed
The Kit Kats would paddle out and get in the way
The deputies and 3Gun would come up from behind
climb aboard and secure them before they could say
then search the ship and see what else they might find
(Brody's job, take over on the bridge and steer the boat to the shore
Myna would guard the skipper and mate while Billy and 3Gun would find the illegal arms)
A knock, they all looked up to see Bella at the door.
A short conversation with Brody, and they discovered Josie may have come to harm.
They weren't sure about the size of crew
so the plan had to play out by ear
Now, with Josie gone one more thing to do.
Brody's heart, for the girl, filled with fear.
Myna stood at the ready cleaning her knives.
3 Gun asked - "Are you sure about, Lorne?"
"Sure I'm sure, just gotta come back alive."
3 Gun's look was forlorn.
This could cost him his badge or worse.
Myna just smiled and patted his arm
He understood why Lorne was adverse.
3Gun silently swore she'd come to no harm
They checked all of their weapons
Nothing to do but wait for the sun
Get the canoes ready
Get the job done
But before the West
can be won
"A visit to CG..."
Said 3 Gun.
