Two Sentence:
A fatal slip has been made. Texas Red did not clear leather before he met his match.
Dribble:
The Arizona ranger was a drifter; he'd come to take an outlaw back dead or alive. His bounty was that of Texas Red, whose pistol held one and nineteen notches. The presence of the ranger was relayed to Texas Red & the two were to meet at twenty past eleven. Never has the swiftness of the ranger been matched, speed unknown to any man, unseen by any eye before that day. Texas Red's pistol remained in its holster as the ranger made his mark. Oh did Texas Red ever make a fatal slip, as the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip.
Author's Note:
One of my all-time favorite artists is Marty Robbins. He's just the absolute essential early country artist for anyone hoping to explore that genre. I believe he should hold the top spot that is currently occupied by one Mr. Hank Williams (even though Hank is a legend as well). I set out to do two quick little entries summarizing/reworking the song 'Big Iron', which is likely Marty's most popular song. This was a fun project, as it meant I got to listen to Big Iron with a very specific purpose.
