the coach left the town after noon
with a good pace
expected before sundown
in the back three passengers
paid in full
delivering them
and the payroll
downtight in the strongbox
mining town
rowdy town
up till dawn
surely as the sun
riding shotgun
restless in the day
the bump and jostle
roads barely called roads
swinging around the mountain pass
each outcrop or boulder ominous
a bandit or outlaw sure
triggers itchy
double the haul
i said payday
and union transfers
any soma***** thinks he's jesse
gonna retire south and pretty soon
nights approaching
and she brought a silver friend

Off to google Bell Star as I wonder, "hmmmmm, did she ever play her game this way?"

P.S. Thank you, you sucked me into the story and I'm waiting, wondering does this mean this or does it mean that? I just finished reading Appaloosa and he just didn't pull me into that story as you did here.

Whoops: Belle Starr

i was going to see appaloosa... haven't been to the theatre in a bit.

Well hells bells, if ya do go, do please holler and let me know what ya think of it.
