He was mean;
he was evil,
Was our Desperado Dan
In fact, he was not...
a very nice man
He made his first kill,
At the age of eleven,
And the preacher new then,
This fella wasn't
destined for heaven
Dan was rough
and Dan was tough,
He never gave quarter
when a man hollared, "'nuff!"
He'd kick him in the teeth
he'd kick'um ina bladder,
He'd spike out his eyes
and beat him helpless,
To Dan, it simply
didn't matter,
So Dan was feared
and he was hated,
let's face it,
Dan was weird
To Dan, a soft word
and a gentle caress
was highly over-rated
If you wus smart
you crossed the street
when Dan was out,
if ya didn't
wanta get beat,
and have a fist
shoved down yer throat
Then along came Pecos Bill
he was tall and lean
from months on the trial,
He had steel in his eyes
and an iron will,
People soon learned
not to ****
with Pecos Bill
The townspeople regarded
these two titans from afar;
that they'd clash
was inevitable,
and there'd soon be
a brand new vegetable
planted up in
Boot Hill garden
So it came as no surprise
that when Bill hit town
the lead would soon fly,
And likely as not
some damned fool
'ud get shot
Opinions varied
as to who was faster,
and which ass-hole
would kill which bastard
It was round about six
when Dan'd commenced ta drinkin',
he figured just for kicks
to hit the Lucky Star
at the other end of town
and sample their bar
Only this was where
Pecos liked
to hang his hat,
So when Dan sauntered in
the piano tickler froze
and the music went flat
Both men turned
and eyed each other,
Not a word was spoke
as they each took measure,
Then before ya knew it
each slapped leather,
and the fur began to fly
The boys were evenly matched,
'cus spectators
swear to this day
they only heard one shot,
yet both men lay;
each with a new hole
in the very same spot -
right between their eyes
Well, for months after
the argument waxed,
and a legal battle ensued,
It was ruled that
all bets were off,
And everyone who'd wagered
figured he'd been screwed
These are the facts
about that famous gun duel,
Hope you've learned
that if ya bet
on something like that
yer a god-damned fool
