:26:02
However, as you wish.
:26:04
Well now... soon after the stranger
has entered this lurid scene,
:26:09
it becomes increasingly evident
there is a growing antagonism
:26:13
between him and Mr McGrew.
:26:15
An antagonism which is to end
in stark tragedy.
:26:20
Shall I pick it up at the point
when the miner,
:26:23
seated at the saloon piano,
is playing like a maniac?
:26:27
Yes, yes, please do.
:26:29
Thank you.
:26:31
'T hen the stranger turned
:26:33
'A nd his eyes they burned
in a most peculiar way
:26:37
'ln a buckskin shirt
that was glazed with dirt he sat
:26:40
'A nd I saw him sway
:26:42
'T hen his lips went thin
in a kind of grin
:26:45
'A nd he spoke
and his voice was calm
:26:48
'Boys, says he, you don't know me
and none of you care a darn... '
:26:51
Yes, yes, yes,
but get to the point, please!
:26:55
'But I want to state
and my words are straight
:26:58
'A nd I'll bet my poke they're true
:27:00
'T hat one of you is a hound of hell
:27:02
'A nd that one is Dan McGrew
:27:04
'T hen I ducked my head
and the lights went out
:27:07
'A nd two guns blazed in the dark
:27:09
'A nd a woman screamed
:27:11
'A nd the lights went up
and two men lay stiff and stark
:27:17
'P itched on his head and pumped full
of lead was dangerous Dan McGrew
:27:23
'W hile the man from the creeks
:27:24
'lay clutched to the breast
of the lady that's known as Lou
:27:36
'I 'm not as wise
as the lawyer guys
:27:40
'But strictly between us two
:27:42
'T he woman who kissed him
and pinched his poke
:27:46
'W as the lady that's known as Lou.'
:27:58
Are you still there?
