PHOTOS WITH WILL ... only $1.00
A friend of mine, Will .... a saddlemaker from Bunger, Texas - hereafter known as the Garden Spot of the Universe.
.... paint the town red
“Now hang Me” this wild cowboy said
“I’ll rush in and paint the town red”
But alas for his plan
He encountered a man
Who buried him… ‘cause he was dead.
“I’ll rush in and paint the town red”
