Nosin' Around  

3Gun made his way to the hotel 

Time to do some nosing around 

He walked through the casino, and asked 

Jujube where Satchel might be found

In the kitchen, arguing with Lotta 

over the menu, and making him mad 

3Gun was crushed when he heard him say, 

desert salad was bad


Hiding his feelings, he stuck to his job 

Asked about guests, and were any about 

Satchel said some, he'd get the names, 

and left the kitchen with a shout


3Gun knocked and announced his name 

Mr. and Mrs. Stone were in their room 

They invited him in, and they all sat down 

"This is about the death of that woman, I assume."


"What can you tell me?" 3Gun asked 

"In the hall we saw that drunken rake. 

But we never ever saw the woman." 

3Gun knew they meant Jake.

"And why have you folks come to BG?" 

"We're looking for our nephew, 

 want to put him in school."

 3Gun nodded and left. "That Sheriff's a fool."


3Gun pondered the words of the Stones 

Listening outside their hotel room door 

They were just far too obliging, he felt 

Figured he nose around a bit more
