Showdown in County

Rode Horse hard to get to County

I knew I couldn't beat the train 

But it was time to close the book on Leo 

An all the business with Judge Domain

My hope was Law had them in his sight 

And I could get this settled at last 

By the time I arrived, it was late at night 

With the next train arriving fast

Deputy Pitts met me with his news 

Leo and Patty were at the train depot 

Law kept an eye, looking for clues 

And I was anxious to hear his views

We met in the lobby of the county hotel 

Law's handshake was firm and strong 

I listened to everything he had to tell 

And knew justice wouldn't be long

We went to the room where the couple stayed 

Law hung back; he knew they wouldn't go free 

I shoved open the door, they both looked afraid 

I said, 'Hi, remember me?'

Two frozen faces in a guilty tableau 

One went for a gun, the other yelled 'No! 

Patty threw herself at Leo, all in vain 

A shot was fired and a scream of pain

Leo dropped his gun and held her tight 

Begging her to live with all his might 

3Gun kicked Leo's gun aside 

And stood by watching as Patty died

They laid her gently on the floor 

And Marshall Law marched Leo out the door 

As they passed 3Gun heard him say 

How sorry he was it ended this way

'It didn't have to, Mr. Write. 

You coulda bin smart and done things right. 

All that lyin', stealin' and killin' is through. 

Now it's the end of a rope for you.'

Locked up tight, paperwork done 

Time for 3Gun to have some fun 

A gift for the Orders and the baby that's new 

Baby Booty spurs oughta do

And a little extra something for CG 

 Something nicer than a type stick to her from me 

A bottle of that expensive back east wine 

And them truffled chocolates would do just fine
