What the Devil . . .? 

3Gun and the County lawmen 

left the saloon 

Law wanted to hit the trail 

 well before noon 

They tied up the prisoners 

and stowed them in the wagon

3Gun looked for Billy 

seemed he was laggin' 

With a wave and a wish 

for a trouble free trip 

then 3Gun went back to Billy 

in no mood for some lip 

Billy pointed at the stage

Billy pointed at the stage 

'Do you see what I see?' 

The name had been changed 

no longer Rickety 

'What the devil . . .?'

Whip Cracker frowned 

 when 3Gun came in 

He wiped his mouth 

and scratched his chin 

'I know, I know. 

'Twern't up to me. 

They just laid down cash 

and became the new company.' 

'Who was the fella 

that came in this run, 

he seemed familiar - a hired gun?' 

'Don't know. Can't say. 

But he knew them new owners 

fur darned sure, okay.'

3Gun called Billy 

'Got a job for you. 

Ronan was first to meet 

Dunn and Dusted and 

I know you think 

he can't be trusted. 

But mosey over to the hotel, 

See what Ronan may have to tell 

Maybe he knew something 

about the man that arrived 

From his outlaw days; 

 Maybe a memory that survived.'
