"Ballad in A--" same idea.
"A Kansan plays cards, calls Marshall a crawdad.
That barb lands that rascal a slap--
that Kansan jackass scats, camps back at caballada ranch.
Hangs kack, ax, and camp hat.
Kansan's nag mad and rants, can't bask, can't bacchanal
and garland a lass, can't at last
brag and crack Law's balls.
Kansan's cantata rang at that ramada ranch.
Mañana, Kansas snarls, I'll have an armada and thwart
Law's brawn, slam law a damn mass war path.
Marshal's a marksman, maps Kansan's track,
calm as a shaman, sharp as a hawk.
Says-- that dastard Kansan's had and gnaws lamb fatback.
At dawn, Marshall stalks that ranch, packs a gat and blasts
Kansan's ass.
Kansan gasps, blast pack.
A flag flaps half staff."
