Ride away! (part 1 of 2)

 Might just ride-away…

(a cowboy sad-song)

 

 

She won’t brand him! Can’t tame him!

She loves him! Can’t ever forsake him!

 

He’s golden sunshine-comfort in her dreary day

Her spirit allows that one day he’ll just ride away

 

Chance Evans forced to man-duties loving his mother and sister

Looked not at his mother’s transgressions with bad-banker mister

 

Mom objected when pretty young daughter he evil-eyed

An accident(?) when their lives the banker errant-denied

 

At their grave-site Chance told him, “I’ll see you soon!”

All that night he plotted and planned what he’d be doin’

 

Exonerated!Innocentelite-banker in a sham-trial

Angel mother and sister reputation unfairly-defiled

 

She won’t brand him! Can’t tame him!

She loves him! Can’t ever forsake him!

 

He’s golden sunshine-comfort in her dreary day

Her spirit allows that one day he’ll just ride away

 

Chance had turned out the stock and set the buildings ablaze

At the bank come high noon he dismounted, his mind in a haze

 

Vengeance-“Justice!” prevailed when a single shot rang out

Chance dashed to his mount screaming a victorious shout

 

Deputy Hingle had the “killer”-boy dead in his sights

Comanche Bill’s straight-arrow put out the law’s lights

 

Together the “gang” raised grey-tendrils on dusty Main Street

Riding off to the secret cave where sweet Myriah they’d meet

 

She won’t brand him! Can’t tame him!

She loves him! Can’t ever forsake him!

 

He’s golden sunshine-comfort in her dreary day

Her spirit allows that one day he’ll just ride away

(Part 2 of 2 tomorrow)
