they told me dr pennington
doesn’t practice here any more
gone, they said
we don’t know where he went
he was an old time doctor
didn’t ask any questions
patching up a gunshot wound
was all in a day’s work to him
they chased us out of huntington
every last one of us
we were directly descended
from the james brothers
frank and jesse
were not bad guys
they were good guys
they settled the west
the railroad had other ideas
then wells fargo got into the act
and offered the unheard of sum
of five hundred dollars!
but no one lived
to collect the reward
and they buried him deep
