When Love Came to Town

Love came to town with a gun in her hand
Holding the destiny of a wanted man
She busted through the batwings of
The last chance saloon
Shot the piano player for playing out of tune
Bellied up to the bar and ordered a double
Barkeep said "we don't want no trouble"
"I didn't ask what you wanted, you timorous twit
Give me whiskey or trouble's what you'll get"
Without another word he brought her a drink
She knocked it back before he could blink
She said "I'm looking for fella, one you mighta seen
Kinda new around town, know who I mean?"
The barkeep didn't take a moment to ponder
Just pointed his finger and said "over yonder"
Love turned her gun on the dark corner of the room
There stood a man, half-concealed in the gloom.
Love said "Jake why did you do it, ruin all that we had?"
Jake said "Why'd you shoot the piano player, he wasn't that bad"
"Don't change the subject!" Lady Love cried
"You told me you cared, but you cheated and lied
Jake kicked at the sawdust and said "aw shucks,
You weren't nothin' but a couple of good~BOOM!!

As Jake's body hit the floor, the barkeep said
"Lady, you just shot both my piano players."
