Whistle blowing, train is leaving
I can see them coming down the street
Hide behind a building, they pass me
Then I step out and call their names

They turn and begin to fire
Bullets whistling all around
Managed to shoot and kill one
Still leaves three I have to face

Running quickly behind the stables
Feel a bullet wing my arm
Burns like fire yet I can't stand here
Otherwise they'll shoot me down

Into the stable and up in the loft
Trying to see where they are hiding
In runs one and shoots up at me
Squeeze the trigger and shoot him down

Through the air a lantern is flying
Setting fire to the hay below
Not much time before all is burning
Loosen horses and ride out with them

In the Main street horse it stumbles
Throws me down onto the ground
With bullets flying all around me
Raced to cover inside the Saddlery

Low on bullets, think my time has come
A new shot sound, and down one went
Who was this one that came to aid me
Oh my God, it was my sweet Amy

He had her there with gun to head
Was me he wanted, murder in his heart
Out I stepped to face him man to man
But he would have none of that

Just then Amy turned and his face hit
Took my chance and went for gun
We shot it out face to face right there
True my aim was, dead he bit the dust

From everywhere people came talking all at once
The boy he came with buckboard loaded
And Amy I helped aboard ready for leaving
There was but one thing left to do

With disgust on my face I surveyed the crowd
None dared to match my stare
Plucked the badge from my shirt
Threw it at their feet right into the dust

Mounted buckboard and took the reins
Off we went not a single look back
Down the trail there is a new town
And with this come a new life
