Waiting and watching 

 The sheriff had left 

To catch the train 

 To reach County 

And make an arrest.

Billy was in charge 

To watch the town 

and sort the problems 

that might emerge.

I asked for promises three 

But Billy only made two 

Better than none 

Which was fine by me.

"No sleeping around 

No drinking spree 

Anyone hurt Rue ... 

man won't be found."

Crossing the street quick 

I was almost knocked over 

By a fancy wagon 

 Driven by a lunatic.

"Dang blame it" 

He waved his arms 

Yelling he rode away 

"You tryin' to get hit."

They headed for Town Hall 

More strangers riding in 

They'd have to wait 

For mayor's answer call.

Good news about Bella 

Nothing about Myna 

Ricky dropped by 

Rambin' about a fellow.

The dinner was on hold 

Till Mr. Denver was better 

Nothin' to do 

Till we were told.

Another night 

Another day 

Hope the sheriff 

Is on his way.
