    Yup..Horse-stealing was a crime that got you hung. There was a big old dead tree about 30 miles South-East of Dodge City that was pointed out to me as the last tree that hung the last horse-thief done 'Vigilante Style' in that area...about 1910 or so.

    I never understood why a fair gun fight would have caused such an uproar..except the guys' buddies MAY have taken exception to having him gunned down...and taken a hand.

    Just wanted to see how many old farts there were here. Anyone know what the flipside of that 45rpm was??

    From 30,000 feet above the desert floor I see it there below
    A city with a legend, the west Texas city of El Paso
    Where long ago I heard a song about a Texas cowboy and a girl
    In a little place called Rosies where he used to go to watch this beauty whirl.....
    El Paso City

    My other favortie by Marty:


    I told Mary about it
    I Told her about a great sin
    Mary cried and forgave me
    Then Mary took me back again
    Said if I wanted my freedom
    I could be free ever more
    But I don't want to be
    And I don't want to see
    Mary cry anymore

    Oh DEVIL WOMAN
    DEVIL WOMAN let go of me
    DEVIL WOMAN let me be
    And leave me alone
    I want to go home

    Mary is waiting and weeping
    Down in our shack by the sea
    Even after I hurt her
    Mary's still in love with me
    DEVIL WOMAN it's over
    Trapped no more by your charm
    Cause I don't want to stay
    I want to get away
    Woman let go of my arm

    Oh DEVIL WOMAN
    DEVIL WOMAN let go of me
    DEVIL WOMAN let me be
    And leave me alone
    I want to go home

    DEVIL WOMAN your evil
    Like the dark coral reef
    Like the winds that bring high tides
    You bring sorrow and grief
    You made me ashamed to face Mary
    Mary had the strength to tell
    Skies are not so black
    Mary took me back
    Mary has broken your spell

    Oh DEVIL WOMAN
    DEVIL WOMAN let go of me
    DEVIL WOMAN let me be
    And leave me alone
    I want to go home

    Running along by the seashore
    Running as fast as I can
    Even the seagulls are happy
    Glad I'm coming home again
    Never again will I ever
    Cause another tear to fall
    Down the beach I see
    What belongs to me
    The one I want most of all

    Oh DEVIL WOMAN
    DEVIL WOMAN let go of me
    DEVIL WOMAN don't follow me
    And leave me alone
    I want to go home
