IN A WESTERN TOWN

 Walk these streets, sidewalks of wood,


 Where men wear boots, hats, and guns.


 Women wear dresses of an earlier time,


 Some of morals, others work men for a dime.


 A sheriff, a deputy, to keep peace and order,


 Jail is for those who can't follow the law.


 A school house, a church, places of good,


 Children learn lessons, a house of God.


 A saloon is a place of drink and games,


 A piano heard, upstairs, women of the night.


 In a western town there are many things,


 A stable for horses, a gunfight to end one's day,


 Once upon a time in a western town.
